Dear Colleagues,

_Due to several requests, we have decided to extend the submission
deadline to *January, 15th*._


The *10th Conference on Mobile Robots and Competitions* - ROBOTICA2010,
to be held in Leiria, Portugal, March 2010, is promoted by the
*Portuguese Robotics Society* (SPR), is organized by the *Polytechnic
Institute of Leiria* (IPL) through its Superior School of Technology and
Management (ESTG). The conference is co-sponsored by *IEEE* through the
IEEE Portuguese Section and has the support of the *IEEE Robotics and
Automation Society* (RAS), through its Portuguese Chapter.

This international conference provides an excellent opportunity for
researchers worldwide to present their most recent work in fields such
as Education through robots, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. The
conference is part of a larger event, the 10th Portuguese Robotics Open,
which dedicates to fostering the research and public awareness on the
field of mobile robots through robotic competitions, demonstrations and
workshops.
