Call for Forums
IROS 2018 is willing to host several forums in order to exchange innovative ideas, points of view and discuss issues around different approaches on robotics and related fields. We are particularly interested in forums that discuss non-technical societal issues of robotics such as robotic society, robo-ethics, new jobs and employment, regulations, citizens, culture, etc. We are open to different proposals and themes that may be of broad interest for IROS 2018 attendees.
