[PROGRAM] [POSTER AND PRESENTATION] [WEB PROCEEDINGS] [PAPER FORMAT] [ORGANIZATION] [CALL FOR PAPERS]
The goal of the Workshop is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas among researchers aiming at the design and implementation of simulation and robotic systems to support search and rescue operations after catastrophic events in urban environments, in particular in post-earthquake scenarios.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Integration of robotic agents in the simulator
- Rescue simulator extensions
- Test field and metric for rescue robotics
- Rescue robots design
- Evaluation methodology for rescue systems
- Autonomy in rescue robots
- Future development of competitions and standards
- Experiences with rescue projects
Display posters in the competition field area specified on site. Participants are requested to read all the posters to prepare the discussion in the afternoon.

Accepted authors should prepare a poster. Display the poster in the competition field area as specified on site. The poster format is free.
All the authors make short presentation (10 minutes including short Q&A) in the oral session. PC projector will be prepared for the presentation. Discussion for all the papers will be done at the Q&A and General Discussion.
Authors are requested to prepare the final paper in IEEE Conference Format as this example, and to distribute 40 copies of the paper at the oral session. PDF file for the web proceedings should be submitted to Prof. Satoshi Tadokoro by CD-ROM or USB memory at the workshop. Web proceedings will be available right after the workshop.
