The 6th edition of the IEEE International Workshop on RObotic and Sensors Environments will take place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 17-18 October, 2008. The focus of the ROSE conference series is on sensing and perception modalities, as well as their impact on autonomous robotics and intelligent systems development and applications. Ottawa, the national capital of Canada, is a bilingual and multi-cultural city with several sites of interest especially in the early Fall season when the town turns into a colorful panorama.

Papers are solicited on all aspects of Sensing Systems and Technologies for Robotics and Industrial Automation, Human-Robot Cooperation, Multimodal or Distributed Sensing, and Perception technologies. These include but are not limited to:
  • sensor controlled system operation
  • collaborative manufacturing
  • automated failure handling
  • inspection and quality control
  • human and robot safety
  • robot teach-in
  • tele-operation
  • robot manipulation
  • stationary and mobile robots
  • emergent applications: rescue robots, swarm robotics, mems
  • robot sensors and vision
  • active environment perception
  • intelligent sensing
  • distributed sensor networks
  • multi-sensor surveillance systems
  • environment or workspace monitoring
  • machine vision and image processing
  • 3D sensing and modeling
  • signal processing and sensor fusion
  • new sensor technologies
Paper Submission: Submit your extended abstract (3-4 pages) or draft version of full paper (6 pages maximum) electronically as a PDF-format file using the web submission form.

All published papers will appear in ROSE 2008 Proceedings and be included in IEEE Xplore.

Important Dates:
  • July 14, 2008 (extended deadline): Submission of extended abstract (3-4 pages) or draft paper
  • August 29, 2008: Notification of acceptance/rejection
  • September 12, 2008: Submission of final camera-ready paper
Extended abstract submission implies willingness to register for the workshop, pay the registration fee and present the paper. Papers will be included in the proceedings only if at least one author has registered and paid the full registration fee by 12 September 2008. If an author covers more than one paper with her/his registration, to guarantee inclusion in the proceedings, she/he must have paid a US$50 surcharge for the additional paper. (no exceptions).
