Due to the ongoing Corona pandemic, ECMR 2021 will be hold as a virtual 
meeting.
Registration will be free of charge.

We cordially invite you to submit your work to the 10th European Conference
on Mobile Robots (ECMR 2021), which will bring together researchers working
on all aspects of mobile robotics including scientific foundations,
applications, and analysis of mobile robotic systems.
ECMR welcomes original research papers describing fundamental 
developments in
the field of mobile robotics, with special emphasis on autonomous systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Mobile robot design: Wheeled and Legged Systems, Aerial Robots,
   Unconventional Locomotion mechanisms, Reconfigurable Robots, Soft Robots,
   Biomimetic Robotics, Actuators, Sensors, Design Methods
* Perception: Environment Perception, Mapping, Localization, SLAM, Scene
   Understanding, Semantic Segmentation, Object Detection/Tracking/Pose
   Estimation, 3D Modeling, Predictive Modeling, Active and Interactive
   Perception, Proprioception, State Estimation, Calibration
* Planning and Control: Exploration, Navigation Planning, Locomotion 
Planning,
   Planning under Uncertainty, Model-based Control, Obstacle Avoidance, 
Robust
   Control, Safe Control
* Learning: Learning for Perception, Learning for Planning, Reinforcement
   Learning, Inverse RL, Deep Learning, Imitation Learning, Learning from
   Demonstration, Sim2Real and Real2Sim Learning, Learning-based 
Control, System
   Identification, Adaptive Control
* Distributed Systems: Multi-Robot Systems, Networked Robots, Swarms,
   Coordination, Task and Resource Allocation
* Mobile Manipulation: Mobile Manipulation Platforms, Perception for
   Mobile Manipulation, Loco-Manipulation, Whole-Body Motion Planning and
   Control, Multi-Contact Planning and Control, Aerial, Underwater, and 
Space

   Safe Interaction
* Applications: Service Robots (e.g. Logistics, Health Care, Industrial,
   Inspection, Monitoring, Professional Services, Personal Robots, Social
   Robots), Field Robots (e.g. Agricultural and Mining, Construction, 
Aerial,
   Underwater, Space)

Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the
Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal.

Paper Format:

All accepted papers, orals and posters, will be included in IEEE Xplore.
Submissions must be formatted in A4, two-column IEEE style. Papers can have
six pages, including references. Up to two extra pages are allowed.

Workshops and Tutorials:

Workshops and tutorials will be held on August 31st, the day before the main
conference. Workshops provide an informal forum for participants to discuss
emerging and active research areas in topics related to mobile robotics.
Tutorials should be designed for students and researchers wishing to learn
new tools, hardware, and practices in the area of mobile robotics.
Both, workshops and tutorials can be held half-day or full-day.
