"We are delighted to announce that registration for IROS 2020 will be free.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Free registration has been made possible by IROS' Sponsoring Societies: the</div>
<div>Robotics Society of Japan (RSJ), the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society</div>
<div>(RAS), the Industrial Electronics Society (IES), the Society of Instrument</div>
<div>and Control Engineers (SICE), and the New Technology Foundation (NTF). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks to their leadership in light of COVID-19, free registration will</div>
<div>lighten financial hardship, broaden attendance, increase our community's</div>
<div>visibility, and foster positivity in our robotics communities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Free registration is extended to authors and non-authors. All will have</div>
<div>access to IROS 2020 content including the Technical talks, Plenaries and</div>
<div>Keynotes, Competitions, and the 68 Workshops and Tutorials.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[...]</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While we cannot replace the experience of an in-person conference, we are</div>
<div>pleased and excited to roll out "IROS On-Demand," a platform that provides</div>
<div>an intuitive and enjoyable way to easily access IROS content anywhere,</div>
<div>anytime, with any device. IROS On-Demand will be released Oct 25, 2020 and</div>
<div>content will be available for 1-month minimum. IROS On-Demand was designed</div>
<div>by the Organizing Committee (OC) in July and has received positive</div>
<div>beta-testing feedback. With author-supplied pre-recorded video talks,</div>
<div>neither authors nor attendees are burdened by global time differences that</div>
<div>make synchronous interactions challenging. "Comment/Q&A" boxes within the</div>
<div>platform will enable asynchronous interaction and feedback. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have already registered for IROS 2020 via the CVENT system, you don't</div>
<div>need to take any further action. We will set up an IROS On-Demand account</div>
<div>for you, and you will access the system using the email with which you</div>
<div>registered in CVENT.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have NOT already registered for IROS 2020, we ask that you use this</div>
<div>link to register and ensure access to IROS On-Demand prior to its release:</div>
<div><br>
</div>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to</div>
<div>activate your account. Please feel free to distribute this information to</div>
<div>maximize access and impact. Content will not be released until October 25,</div>
<div>2020.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We hope that IROS 2020 free registration will attract new attendees from</div>
<div>national and industry research labs. We also hope free registration will</div>
<div>lower the barrier to access for researchers, graduate, and undergraduate</div>
<div>students, and enable participation by K-12 students and educators as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We're proud to say that no other IEEE society has made registration entirely</div>
<div>free for their flagship conference (of IROS' size and scale). Making both</div>
<div>XPlore publishing and attendance free is historic. We hope this brings a</div>
<div>bit of good news to your year.</div>
