----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that ROBOT2022 - Fifth Iberian Robotics 
Conference will be held at the Paraninfo Building of the University of 
Zaragoza during November 23-25, 2022, following the four previous and 
successful events, both from the viewpoint of their scientific and 
technical quality, and for the important number of attending delegates, 
of the Iberian Robotics Conference held in Madrid in 2013, Lisbon in 
2015, Seville in 2017 and Porto in 2019.

ROBOT2022 main goal is to continue the precedent efforts in showcasing 
the robotics research and development of new applications in the Iberian 
Peninsula. Although focused on the works developed at Iberia, the 
conference is open for submissions from any country in the world.

ROBOT2022 will feature technical and social programs. The technical 
program will comprise plenary, regular and special sessions. All 
articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed 
before acceptance. It is envisaged that all accepted papers will appear 
in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer – 
Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series, indexed by Thomson 
ISI Web of Knowledge and SCOPUS, subject to registration of at least one 
author for presenting the work. A selection of the conference-presented 
best papers will also be recommended for publication as extended 
versions in Special Issues from international top ranked Journals.

CONFERENCE SCOPE
----------------

We invite original contributions in all areas relevant to robotics, 
covering mobile, walking, flying, marine, underwater, and industrial 
robots. The conference will cover analysis (modelling and simulation) 
techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and 
realisations of developed robotic systems. Support technologies for 
realisation of such systems, namely sensors and actuators, computer 
vision and image processing, tactile & haptics devices, control 
algorithms and architectures, localization, mapping and navigation, 
associated economic, ethical, legal and social considerations are 
integral part of the conference theme. Human-robot interaction, 
including medical robots, exoskeletons, prostheses and orthoses, as well 
as personal and service robots forms an increasingly active and 
important pertinent area. A non-exhaustive list of topics and activities 
can be found on the website.
