The 17th IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions (ICARSC 2017) gathers participants from academia and industry working in the field of autonomous robotics and related areas. It is organized within the 17th Portuguese Robotics Open, a RoboCup-sponsored local event.
The conference is an open forum to most robotics topics, as listed below, although contributions addressing novel benchmarking methods, able to properly compare and evaluate the performance of different solutions to a given robotics problem, and works dealing with robotics competitions and challenges are particularly welcome.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions electronically, in PDF format, via EasyChair:
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icarsc2017)
The papers should follow the standard IEEE conference format. The corresponding LaTeX and MS Word templates can be found in:
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html)
Papers should be six pages in length, with up to two extra pages at the cost of 75€ per extra page.
Reviewing for ICARSC 2017 will be double blind so authors must remove their names from the submitted papers and should take reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity.
Accepted papers will be scheduled for presentation, which requires that at least one of the authors must register at the Conference and present the paper. Failure to meet this requirement will imply removing the paper from the online version of the proceedings.

Publication
The conference has been an IEEE co-sponsored event for a long time and its proceedings have been indexed in IEEExplore and in Scopus.
Moreover, authors of the best works presented at ICARSC will be invited to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue to be published by Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal.
Venue
The conference will be held at the University of Coimbra in Coimbra, Portugal, on April 26-28, 2017.
The University of Coimbra (UC), founded in 1290, was the first Portuguese university, and one of the oldest in the world (http://www.uc.pt/en). Nowadays, UC maintains a unique mix of tradition, contemporaneity and innovation that led to its recognition as a world heritage site by UNESCO since 2013.
Coimbra is located at the center of Portugal, about 200km north of Lisbon and 100km south of Oporto, the closest cities with international airports. Coimbra can be easily reached by train, coach or car from these airports.
