RSS 2013 - The 2013 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference

The 2013 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference will bring together researchers working on algorithmic and mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The conference will be single-track, and the final program will be the result of a thorough review process to give attendees an opportunity to see the best research in all areas of robotics.
The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The three-day main session will be followed by two days of workshops and tutorials. Workshop-only registration will also be available. Every effort is being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particuarly for student attendees.
Papers are solicited in all areas of robotics, including: Distributed Systems, Field Robotics, Human Centered Systems, Human Robot Interaction, Estimation and Learning for Robotic Systems, Manipulation, Mechanisms, Medical Robotics, Micro/Nano Robotics, Mobile Systems and Mobility, Planning and Algorithms, and Robot Perception. Submissions will be evaluated in terms of their technical quality, novelty, signicance, and clarity.
