2013 IEEE International Symposium on Robotic and Sensors Environments (ROSE)

The focus of the ROSE conference series is on sensing systems and technologies for robotics and industrial automation, as well as their impact on autonomous robotics and intelligent systems development and applications. Papers are solicited on all aspects of sensing systems and technologies for robotics and industrial automation, human-robot cooperation, multimodal sensing, and perception technologies. These include, but are not limited to: sensor controlled systems, collaborative manufacturing, inspection and quality control, human and robot interaction, cognitive robotics, tele-operation, robot manipulation, mobile robotics, rescue robots, swarm robotics, and also on robot sensors and vision, intelligent sensing, machine vision and image processing, 3D sensing and modeling, sensor fusion, new sensor technologies, and distributed sensing for intelligent robotic systems. ROSE 2013 will take place at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, USA, on 21-23 October 2013. Washington is the nation's capital, where the worlds of science and technology, media and policy, and the arts converge. The city offers visitors world-class iconic sightseeing from awe-inspiring monuments and memorials, and interactive experiences at numerous museums. Washington is easily accessible by car or train, and well connected to major airports. The George Washington University was founded in 1821 and is the largest university in the District of Columbia with over 20 000 students exploring a rich range of disciplines. The 2013 edition of the IEEE International Symposium on RObotic and Sensors Environments is sponsored by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. It is organized in collaboration with TC-15 Virtual Systems Measurements, TC-22 Intelligent Measurement Systems, TC-27 Human-Computer Interface and Interaction, TC-28 Instrumentation for Robotics and Automation, and TC-30 Security and Contraband Detection.
