CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
========================================

Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) brings together researchers working 
on algorithmic and mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics 
applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The conference is 
single-track, and the final program will be the result of a thorough 
review process, to give attendees an opportunity to see the best 
research in all areas of robotics.  The program includes invited talks, 
as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The main 
conference is followed by two days of workshops and tutorials.

All papers presented at the main conference will be published in online
