Conferences & Workshops

The IEEE Robotics & Automation technical conferences and workshops offer a unique opportunity to participate in the advancement of the industry’s research base, through interaction with other robotics and automation professionals and engage in expert panel discussions tutorial sessions, short courses, supplier exhibits and social events with the leaders and innovators of the industry.

    The IROS Conference Paper Review Board (CPRB) is organized in the same way as the ICRA CEB. There is one Editor-in-Chief (EiC), 30 Senior Editors (SE’s), more than 400 Associate Editors (AE’s), and several hundred Reviewers. Each paper to be reviewed will be assigned one Editor and to one of the AEs that that Editor supervises. The AE will be responsible for obtaining a minimum of two high quality reviews for each paper they handle, and for preparing an AE recommendation that explains the recommended decision regarding the paper acceptance and presentation type. The AEs will also help to identify papers to be considered for awards. The Editors will be responsible for reviewing and endorsing the work done by the AEs on the papers for which they are responsible.

    The ultimate responsibility for the conference content, acceptance rate, symposia, etc. rests with the Program Committee. The purpose of the CPRB is to ensure a high quality, robust, reliable and consistent review process.
