Paper submission

We welcome papers ranging between 1 - 2 pages of abstract, excluding all references and appendices. All submissions should be formatted in the IEEE 2023 format. A LaTeX template is available here. A Word template is available here. Following the IEEE RO-MAN conference submission policy, all papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the paper for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other's identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their papers. Contents presented at other conferences can also be submitted again if the topic of paper is relevant to our workshop. The accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website and will NOT appear in the IEEE RO-MAN proceedings. Presenting papers at this workshop does not affect you to submit your work to other venues.
