Call of papers

The First Symposium was held on Sept. 5–8, 1973, in Udine and this is the 20th edition. RoManSy2014 will continue this tradition, with the aim to bring together researchers, industry professionals and students from the broad ranges of disciplines referring to Robotics, in an intimate, collegial and stimulating environment. The Symposium will be held at the Institute of Mechanical Science of RAS in Moscow.

Topics

Papers are solicited on topics related with robots within aspects of theory, design, practice and applications, including but not limited to:
  • novel robot designs and robot components;
  • service robots and humanoid robots;
  • bio-robotics, micro and nano-robots;
  • kinematics and dynamics of robotic systems;
  • grasping, handling and intelligent manipulation
  • sensor systems for robots, perception;
  • control design for robots and applications;
  • robot prototyping, experimental robotics.

The Symposium solicits papers providing a vision of the evolution of the robotics disciplines and signalling new directions in which these disciplines are foreseen to develop.
