2018世界機器人大會先進機器人與自動化專題論壇（WRC SARA 2018），將于2018年8月15至19日世界機器人大會期間舉辦。2015年，世界機器人大會首次在北京召開。三年來，大會已逐步發(fā)展成為機器人和人工智能領域規(guī)模最大、規(guī)格最高的學術和產業(yè)盛會。大會每年吸引了來自全球頂尖高校、研究機構和機器人企業(yè)的300余位國際一流學者、專家與企業(yè)家，共話機器人技術與產業(yè)發(fā)展。過去幾年，大會每年展出超過150家國際機器人企業(yè)帶來的近千種創(chuàng)新展品，與會者超過200,000人次。

    今年，2018世界機器人大會期間將舉辦一場關于機器人與自動化領域先進研究成果的論壇，并在全球范圍內向相關領域的各專業(yè)人士征集論文。我們將與IEEE機器人與自動化學會（IEEE RAS）共同評審所提交的技術論文。提交送審的論文都應嚴格遵循IEEE會議論文格式。所有獲選并經過注冊的論文均將被錄入IEEE Xplore數據庫，并收錄于EI檢索。

    2018 世界機器人大會由論壇、博覽會、大賽、開幕式、閉幕式組成。大會將邀請世界機器人領域著名專家學者進行高水平的學術交流，邀請國內外機器人企業(yè)、高校及科研機構集中展示最新科研成果、應用產品，并舉辦一系列精彩紛呈的機器人大賽活動。大會旨在豐富拓展機器人、自動化以及人工智能領域研究者和從業(yè)者的知識與經驗，通過展示創(chuàng)新技術、培育創(chuàng)新人才來推動機器人技術與產業(yè)的發(fā)展，使其成為國際社會真正的創(chuàng)業(yè)、創(chuàng)新驅動力。

WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation

Call for Papers

The WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA 2018) will be held as a special technical meeting during the World Robot Conference (WRC), Beijing, China, August 15 to August 19, 2018.  Organized by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), and Beijing Municipal People’s Government, the first WRC was held in 2015, and has since then continued to grow into the world’s largest-scale and top-level conference for academics and industrialists in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence fields.  Each prior WRC attracted over 300 international speakers who are leading academics, industry experts, entrepreneurs from the world’s top universities, research institutes, and corporations. In the past few years, WRC has annually showcased more than 150 international companies, with more than 1000 innovative projects and products related to Robotics. The conference has also attracted more than 200,000 attendees annually.

This year, WRC 2018 will host a new forum for advanced research results related to Robotics and Automation and would like to call-for-paper submissions from experts world-wide to attend this forum:  WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA 2018).  We will collaborate with the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society in reviewing the submitted technical papers. All submitted papers for review should follow strict IEEE conference paper format. All accepted papers that are presented at the Symposium will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore and EI indexed.

The WRC conference series strives to integrate three key components for successful international conferences that will greatly benefit the attendees -- Forums, Exhibitions and Contests. The WRC conferences seek to enrich the knowledge and experience of students, academics, industrialists, and entrepreneurs in the fields of Robotics, Automation, and Artificial Intelligence.  WRC will showcase technical innovations, cultivate creative talents, and allow international engagements for academics, entrepreneurs and industrialist -- pushing robotics technologies and industries to become a true driver of entrepreneurship and innovation across the global society.

Key Conference Topics (but not limited to)

●Intelligent Control Systems And Optimization

●Robotics and Automation

●Signal Processing, Sensors, Systems Modelling and Control

●Industrial Engineering, Production and Management

Important Dates

●May 31, 2018, Full Paper Submission Deadline

●July 06, 2018, Notification of Acceptance

●July 27, 2018, Final Submission Deadline

●July 31, 2018, Registration Deadline

Contributed Papers

Full papers must be submitted in PDF format prepared strictly following the IEEE PDF requirements for creating PDF documents for the IEEE Xplore.
