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).

Video session(s)
The submitted videos to IROS 2018 can show novel research results or interesting applications in relevance to the conference topics. We welcome videos showing early results as well as well-researched results. Submitted videos will be reviewed by the Conference Video Committee.
To submit a video to IROS 2018, please refer to the following instructions:
-
Duration: 1-3 minutes.
-
Size: Less than 50 Mb.
-
Formats: The MPEG format (.mpg) will be accepted.
-
Codecs: Do not use special codecs in order to provide as much portability across platforms as possible. Any variance from the suggested formatting may result in difficulties playing the file on different platforms and could be blocked.
-
Structure: The video must include at the beginning a video cover with the title, authors and affiliation and the credits at the end.
When preparing the video, please make it as professional as possible. Producing a video already requires a significant amount of effort, and therefore, spending a little more effort to raise the quality can make a big difference in how it is received.
The video contributions should not have any commercial pitch and the authors of each video must have clear copyright of the audio and visual content.
The submission of the videos will be through the electronic submission process via PaperPlaza. Each video must be accompanied by a one-page description in PDF: a) title, authors and affiliation, b) 200-word abstract, and c) contact information. The selected videos (and the PDF descriptions) will be linked in the electronic conference proceedings and will also be displayed during the conference.
For more information or details on video submission, please contact videos@iros2018.org.
