Publication in IEEE Xplore
===
Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. The
authors of a selection of papers will be invited to submit
their manuscript to a special issue of the Advanced
Robotics Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan.
===
Paper Format
===
Papers should be up to eight pages in length, optionally
accompanied by a video. All submissions will be reviewed by
at least two reviewers to ensure a high quality of the
conference proceedings.

Conference Venue: The Parc 55
===
Experience the unforgettable in the heart of the historic
Union Square at a truly treasured downtown San Francisco
hotel. Explore the city's most storied and timeless
neighborhoods, just steps away from Chinatown and Nob Hill.
The vibrant energy of this iconic Union Square hotel will
encourage fruitful discussions at SIMPAR. The conference
will feature great social events including a tour on the
San Francisco Bay as well as technical tours to companies
and research labs in Silicon Valley.
