Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Supplementary Materials
Optional materials such as videos or extended proofs (up to 100MB), submitted after the main paper deadline and reviewed at reviewers' discretion.
Workshops
Half-day events focused on timely, interactive, and forward-looking topics in robotics, proposed by organizers and selected based on educational value and diversity.
Demos
Live demonstrations are permitted for accepted papers but are not a separate submission category; resources are provided during poster sessions.

Policies worth checking twice
- All submissions must be double-blind: authors' names, affiliations, and acknowledgments must be omitted from the main paper; self-citations must be anonymized.
- Papers must not exceed 8 pages (excluding references); deviations may result in desk rejection.
- Dual submissions to other conferences with published proceedings are strictly prohibited; parallel submissions are considered a violation.
- Preprints on arXiv or similar platforms are permitted but risk compromising anonymity; authors are warned that reviewers may discover identities.
- Supplementary materials must not contain external links during review; links are allowed only in the final camera-ready version.
- AI-generated text is permitted but authors are fully responsible for its accuracy, originality, and proper citation; plagiarism by AI is not excused.
- Camera-ready papers must use provided templates without modification; fonts must be embedded in PDFs; page numbers and drafts are forbidden.
- Rebuttals are optional and limited to one page for invited submissions; rebuttals must not introduce new results.
