ICARSC 2021 - IEEE International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions will be held at Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, on April 28-29, 2021. The conference is co-located with ROBOTICA 2021 - The Portuguese Robotics Open, a RoboCup-sponsored local event, and is promoted by the University of Aveiro, University of Coimbra, Polytechnic Institute of Tomar and the Portuguese Robotics Society. The conference is planned to take place in a hybrid mode, allowing remote participation along with physical presence.
ICARSC gathers participants from academia and industry working in the field of autonomous robotics and related areas. ICARSC is a well established IEEE conference that has been growing continuously for over a decade and is nowadays a truly international forum attracting worldwide quality research papers. ICARSC has long been an IEEE co-sponsored event and its proceedings will be indexed in IEEExplore and Scopus.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in English.
Six pages in the standard IEEE format: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html are allowed for each paper, including tables and figures.
Full papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, using the easychair.org platform: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icarsc2021
Reviewing for ICARSC 2021 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.
