Abstract

The 2018 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference will bring together researchers working on all aspects of robotics including scientific foundations, applications, and analysis of robotic systems&#046; We seek your best work in all areas of robotics and solicit papers that cover both the “Science” and the “Systems” of robotics&#046;<br>The conference will be single&#8211;track, and the final program will be the result of a thorough review process to give attendees an opportunity to see the most exciting research in all areas of robotics&#046; Submissions will be evaluated in terms of their novelty, technical quality, significance, potential impact, and clarity&#046; Selected papers will be invited for submission to special issues of the International Journal of Robotics Research and Autonomous Robots, and for expedited review as regular submissions to the IEEE Transactions on Robotics&#046;<br>The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers&#046; The three&#8211;day main session will be followed by two days of workshops and tutorials&#046; Every effort is being made to keep the conference affordable, particularly for student attendees&#046;<br>This year, we are especially excited to showcase the following two themes via special sessions at the conference:<br>Field Robotics: Underwater Robotics, Aerial/Space Robotics, Agricultural and Mining Robotics, Building and Construction, Environmental Monitoring, Autonomous Vehicles<br>Mechanisms and Design: Humanoids, Hands, Legged Systems, Snake Robots, Novel Actuators, Reconfigurable Robots, MEMS/NEMS, Micro/Nanobots, Novel Sensors, Haptics, Tactile Interfaces, Soft Robots, Wearable Robots, Design Optimization of Robotic Systems, Minimality in design<br>
