Call for Contributions

All papers submitted to IROS 2013 undergo a peer-review process. A manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, who will give detailed comments and - if the submission gets accepted - the authors submit a revised ("camera-ready") version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by a Conference Editorial Board. Authors should submit their papers electronically in PDF format via PaperPlaza (PaperCept), Conference Management System.
