Paper Submission

All papers must be written in English and submitted electronically via ras.papercept.net in one of the following two submission categories.

  • Regular Papers (4-8 pages): Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality papers for oral presentation, and the accepted papers will be included in Ubiquitous Robots IEEE Xplore Conference Proceedings subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.
  • Work-in-Progress Papers (2-4 pages): The conference seeks contributions from a broad set of on-going works for poster presentation with possible active interaction in the conference. The accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings for distribution to the conference participants. However, work-in-progress papers will not be uploaded to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and the authors retain the copyright.
