               Call for Papers and Abstracts
=====================================================================
        The 10th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots
   15th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
              Seoul, Korea, November 3rd 2015
            http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/ws15/
=====================================================================

## Motivation:

  Humanoid soccer has seen impressive progress in recent years.
  Bipedal standard or open platforms (Nao, Robotis-OP2, NimbRo-OP,
  and Thormang) make soccer robots accessible to many research groups,
  advanced 3D simulation games make the investigation of team play with
  complex heterogeneous humanoid robots possible, and soccer games for
  larger robots are a step towards playing with humans.
  The ultimate goal of this initiative is to develop a team of humanoid
  soccer players – i.e. robots with human-like awareness of the game
  situation, efficient and safe dynamic motion skills, and cooperation
  abilities. This poses a unique set of challenges to robotics, AI, and
  other fields.


## Objective:

  The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the RoboCup 
and FIRA
  communities, as well as other researchers interested in the subject.
  The full-day program will consist of invited talks, contributed 
presentations,
  and a panel discussion.


## Submission:

  All contributed presentations are subject to a peer review process.

  * Full papers: We solicit submissions of original, previously
    unpublished research papers. Papers should be up to 6 pages in
    length, formatted according to IEEE conference layout (two-column).

  * Abstracts: Authors interested mainly to give a workshop
    presentation may submit a one-page abstract of their presentation.

  Submit your contribution through EasyChair:
