  3. Abstract
       Developing robots that can operate in human environment and proximity requires to understand human behaviors and movements, and to study situations when robots and humans are actually operating together. This session aims at providing a space for discussion on the above aspects by inviting speakers to present their work on a broad range of topics ranging from human motion science to human-robot interaction.

■ IS2: AI, Learning and Control

  3. Abstract
       The aim of this session is to provide opportunities for discussing a broad range of topics relevant to AI, learning and control in robotics. We welcome submissions from all aspects on the theoretical development and practical applications of AI and learning approaches to robot control. Any other relevant topics are also highly encouraged.

■ IS3: Robotics and Manipulation

  3. Abstract
       Object manipulation is one of the most basic skills required for robotic systems, and that is becoming a new phase by many new approaches such as learning or optimization techniques or soft robotic systems, whereas still difficult to make it like as human. Aiming at realizing dexterous manipulation, this session will provide an opportunity to discuss the cutting edge of robotic manipulation in all aspects of theories and applications.

  When creating a PDF file, the following guidelines must be followed:

  1. The file size should be less than 3M Bytes.
  2. Don't over-degrade the printing quality when reducing the file size.
  3. Since submitted files will be edited later by the conference organizer to include a header and footer, confirm that the top and side margins are 20mm and the bottom margin is 27mm, respectively.
  4. DON'T ACTIVATE ANY SECURITY OPTIONS of your PDF file.
  5. Please recheck whether your paper meets all of the above criteria.
  6. If you have troubles on the submission system, the cause might be file compression process in the PDF file. Please check the following operation to avoid the problem, or please contact rsjac-support@rsjac.web-concier.net
