The International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems is an initiative of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems, and is technically co-sponsored by IEEE. The goal is to convene researchers in multi-robot systems (MRS) and multi-agent systems (MAS) to cross-fertilize ideas in a single-track conference. The intent of the conference is to bring MRS and MAS researchers together with a high-quality symposium to highlight the top advances in multi-robot and multi-agent research.
Final Submission Deadline: June 24 *Updated and firm*
Acceptance Notification: September 2
Topics of interest include:
- Modeling and Control of MRS/MAS
- Optimal Control and Optimization Methods for MRS/MAS
