Workshops and Tutorials at ICRA 2008

Note: This page lists the workshops and tutorials scheduled for ICRA 2008 selected based on proposals submitted by prospective organizers of workshops and tutorials. The instructions on how to submit a workshop or tutorial proposal to ICRA 2008 are archived here though the deadline for proposing new workshops and tutorials has passed.

In addition to the workshops listed below, ICRA 2008 will feature two additional special workshops. The first is the local and student chapter leaders workshop to bring together and foster linkage and exchange between the RAS local chapters, students chapters, and the RAS Membership Activities Board. The second is an invitation-only workshop on future directions in visual navigation to assess the state-of-the art in this field and to critically examine future trends.

If you are interested in contributing to one of the workshops listed below, please follow the corresponding link for further information. If the workshop you are interested in does not have a website, please email the respective organizers for information.
