40th Anniversary of the IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation
ICRA @40
23-26 September, 2024
Rotterdam, Netherlands
ICRA@40 is a unique edition to celebrate 40 years of research and deployment of robotics and automation. It will review the past and dwell on the future through a single-track format conference, composed of plenary presentations and brainstorming panels with the most renowned academics and industry experts on robotics and automation.
In the last four decades, Robotics and Automation have transformed manufacturing, logistics and transportation. AI is now integral to robotics and automation and what was once science fiction is now a reality. Wearables, prostheses, and personal mobility devices can provide support and partial recovery for the disabled and elderly. Traditional hard and energy-hungry materials have given way to safer and more environmentally conscious designs, exploring advancements in soft and biological materials. These steady progresses have modified society’s views on what robotics and automation can and should offer. Yet, deployment of the technology in some areas has staggered and some of the technical and scientific challenges known 40 years ago remain. ICRA@40 will reflect on the past 40 years and outline immediate opportunities and long-term challenges in Robotics and Automation.
ICRA@40 is a unique edition to celebrate 40 years of research and deployment of robotics and automation. It will review the past and dwell on the future through a single-track format conference, composed of distinguished talks, brainstorming and debate panels with the most renowned academics and industry experts on robotics and automation. In addition, the program will include presentations of papers recently accepted in RAS journals (T-RO- RA-L, RAM and T-ASE) as well as presentations of extended abstracts and videos submitted to ICRA@40. The single-track format will provide an interactive platform for discussions and debates on the present state and future directions in robotics and automation
We are seeking the submission of extended abstracts with new ideas that hat highlight innovative concepts, open-ended themes, and novel directions as well as videos that showcase novel results or summarize the achievement in the last 40 years in the field of robotics and automation. The emphasis should be on real robotics and automation systems.
We encourage submissions from all areas of robotics and automation.
Types of Submission
Submissions for ICRA@40 have two types
A video that was NOT submitted with the initial submission of an extended abstract will NOT be accepted at a later date.
The video should not have any commercial pitch and the authors of each video must have clear copyright of the audio and visual content. The copyright should be released to the conference.
The submission of the videos will be through the electronic submission process via PaperPlaza.
Each video submission must be accompanied by a one-page description in PDF file format, which includes:
The selected videos (and the PDF descriptions) will be linked in the program. Videos will be displayed during the conference and to the public via social media and IEEE TV and may be used in the Robotics History project.
