====================================================
2nd CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Session on Robot Locomotion
9th Portuguese Conference on Automatic Control, CONTROLO 2010
====================================================
Dear colleagues,

We would like to kindly invite you to submit a manuscript to the
Special Session on Robot Locomotion
that will take place within the CONTROLO 2010 Conference.

The ability to traverse a wide variety of terrains while moving is a
basic requirement for performing useful tasks in our human centric
world. Robot locomotion is a challenging task that involves several
relevant subtasks, not yet completely solved, which must be addressed
by robotics research.

The purpose of this session is to discuss mobile robots in general,
focusing on their locomotion skills. For such robots to function
autonomously, advanced sensing and algorithms are needed, for
instance, to do localization, path planning, control, learning and
decision making. The session will also focus on the materials,
actuators, sensors and the design and construction of mobile robots in
order to have the mobility necessary to fulfill its purpose.

The session also aims at providing a venue where researchers,
scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world can
present and discuss the latest achievements, future challenges and
exciting applications that will enable to improve the locomotion
skills of future robots.

Submissions should follow the guidelines for CONTROLO 2010 (please
check www.controlo2010.org)

Important Dates:

October 19, 2009 – Submission site for contributions opens
March 31, 2010 – Submission of full Draft Papers and Invited Sessions
