Humanoids 2014 - IEEE-RAS 14th International Conference on Humanoids Robots

IEEE-RAS Humanoids2014 conference will be held in Madrid, Spain, during 18-20 November 2014. It will follow the previous ones in Atlanta, USA (2013), and Osaka, Japan (2012). The conference theme "Humans and Robots Face-to-Face" confirms the growing interest in the field of human-humanoid interaction and cooperation, especially during daily life activities in real environments. The conference's new scopes will help focus on the next generation of humanoids. While Madrid, founded in the 9th century, possesses a modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of its historic neighborhoods and streets. Madrid's museum triangle makes it unique for world cultural heritage. It is the 10th most livable city in the world according to the 2010 Monocle index. The venue will be the Hotel Melia located in the city center with excellent access.

The Welcome Reception will be held on 18 November 2014 in the "Santiago Bernabeu" Stadium, the official headquarter of Real Madrid football team with 90,000 seats. The conference Banquet will be celebrated in "Casino de Madrid" on 19 November, an impressive neobaroque building with a huge paintings and sculptures heritage. The Farewell Party will take place in the Hotel Melia Castilla, the conference venue.

Accepted papers will be presented either at a single track oral session or at interactive sessions. All papers will appear in the proceedings of the conference without distinction and on IEEE Xplore. Videos of 1-3 minutes duration illustrating new and exciting results will be also selected and included in the conference proceedings. Proposal for half-day or full-day workshops and tutorials will be opened and will be reviewed accordingly to conference web site. An exhibition site will be featured at the venue. Information for prospective exhibitors will be available on the web site. This year the new humanoids robot competition will be launched under rules published in the web site.
