Overview:
To better meet the needs of the ICRA community, the tutorials structure for ICRA 2012 is different than in past conferences. Rather than a "top-down" approach, we conducted a survey of the community to identify topics of importance. We received over 200 responses, and this input has largely driven the Tutorials program for ICRA 2012.To increase "shelf-life" of tutorial content and reach a wider audience, several Tutorials were video-recorded. These videos are available to all who paid an ICRA registration fee.
