CALL FOR VIDEOS SESSION CONTRIBUTIONS
http://www.ro-man2017.org/site/node/16


Videos of 1.5 to 3 minutes illustrating new and exciting results are sought for this RO-MAN 2017 edition.
Contributed Videos will be regarded and peer-reviewed as separate contributed submissions with respect to multimedia attachments to contributed papers. Accepted Videos will be presented in Video Sessions within the RO-MAN 2017 program. Accepted Video contributions (with the accompanying files, as described in the submission guidelines http://www.ro-man2017.org/site/node/16) will be included in the Proceedings of RO-MAN 2017 and will be archived in IEEE XPlore.

A Video submitted for video sessions is expected to be a stand-alone contribution, which must be self-explanatory thanks to a comprehensive English narration. A contributed Video should make all the typical aspects of a written scientific contribution available to the viewers, by exploiting a video format instead of a traditional paper format.

Creative formats and contributions that can foster scientific dissemination of robotics research are encouraged. High-quality, semi-professional video design and production style are expected.

Basic guidelines for Videos preparation are:
- Focus on your own research;
- Include an English narration;
- Introduce the background of the presented research, and explain research objectives;
- Describe methodology, materials, and main outcomes;
- Present experimental tests so to provide the best evidence of the results.

Best RO-MAN 2017 Video Award
A dedicated Award will be assigned to recognize the most outstanding RO-MAN 2017 Video. 
The winner will be awarded US$ 500 prize and a certificate. Co-winners will share the Award prize. 
The award will be announced and presented during RO-MAN 2017 conference.
