We solicit tutorial and workshop proposals that address important and new topics related to the conference theme, “Exploring New Horizons in Intelligent Robots and Systems,” as well as robotics and intelligent systems in general. Workshops should focus on areas of active research, in order to provide an informal forum for participants to exchange developing research results and ideas. Tutorials should target established fields of research, in order to provide descriptions on its state of the art, by individuals who are recognized researchers of the field.
