We solicit tutorial and workshop proposals that address important and new topics related to the conference theme, Robotics and IRT for Livable Societies, as well as robotics and automation in general. Workshops should focus on areas of active research, in order to provide an informal forum for participants to exchange developing research results and ideas. Tutorials should target established fields of research, in order to provide descriptions on its state of the art, by individuals who are recognized researchers of the field. All workshop/tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the ICRA 2009 Workshop/Tutorial Committee.
We encourage proposals that will attract a broad audience from industry. The primary criteria for selection are anticipated level of interest, impact, novelty or creativity, and technical background of presenters.
