[AllUsers-ISR] ICARSC'2021 Deadline reminder

[Ana Cristina Barata Pires Lopes]

Dear Researchers,

Please notice that the deadline to submit papers to IEEE ICARSC 2021 
(Int. Conf. on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions) is approaching fast. 
The deadline for paper submission is next February 15.

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the conference will take place only in 
virtual modality. We have a fair registration fee for this modality 
(see summary of CfP below).

You can submit your papers following the instructions at "Paper Submission"
menu of:
https://www.festivalnacionalrobotica.pt/icarsc/
where you can also find the other conference details.

To submit your paper use
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icarsc2021 

All accepted papers will be published in the at IEEE Xplore, and 
indexed in Scopus and other databases.
Best papers will be invited to submit extended versions in to
the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems (5-Year Impact Factor: 2.52)
and others at Industrial Robot (5-Year Impact Factor: 1.29), both indexed by
Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus.

We have a list of excellent plenary speakers including Peter Stone
(University of Texas at Austin, USA) and Miguel Angel Sotelo 
(University of Alcalá, Spain) (DLR, Germany).

We are looking forward to receive your submission(s) and
