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.
