As the results of the reviews, 14 proposals had been accepted for the Special Session at the 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems (IROS2018).
Each organizer collects at least 8 papers for each Special Session. They will be reviewed similar to the regular papers and only the accepted ones will be published in the IROS2018 Proceedings. The organizer will be invited to be the Chair of the Special Session and responsible for.
If the number of accepted papers is bigger than 8, papers will be allocated in two sessions and if necessary will be completed with regular papers of similar topic. Just in case that the number of accepted papers is less than 8, the papers will be reassigned to the other regular sessions according to the topic.

October, 1-5, 2018 Madrid, Spain
As a result of the reviews, 48 proposals have been accepted for the Workshops sessions at the 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems (IROS2018). The workshops will be held on Monday, 1st October and Friday, 5th October, 2018. There are 33 full-day workshops and 15 half-day ones. Morning sessions are from 9:00 until 13:30, with a half-hour coffee break at 11:00. Afternoon sessions are from 14:30 until 19:00, with a half-hour coffee break at 16:30 (times to be confirmed).
Registration is required for the workshops, through the IROS2018 registration website. The workshop registration gives you access to all workshops (and tutorials) on both workshop/tutorials days (1st and 5th October). However, you need to select the workshops (and/or tutorials) of your interest from the list on the registration site. (Also note that the workshops might be re-numbered for better consistency in the final program).

Call for Entrepreneurship Activities
To foster the entrepreneurial spirit and to provide a platform to encourage researchers and practitioners to transition ideas and prototypes to marketable products, the IROS 2018 is inviting the robotics community to participate to and propose Entrepreneurial Activities.
The events are intended to inspire, educate, enable, and empower researchers, students, young professionals and all interested citizens of any country, age and social condition to foster the creation of new innovative robotics start-ups and spin-offs for the benefit of humankind.
The objective is also to bring closer the investors and financial agencies to the opportunities opened by the steep progress in intelligent robotics, to spur a new global wave of robotic entrepreneurship.
