The paper review process was rigorous. All papers received a
minimum of four high-quality reviews (that is over 600 reviews from
over 170 program committee members). After the reviews were
completed, the program committee members and area chairs discussed
reviews for each paper in an on-line forum within the conference
management system. Then the authors were invited to rebut the
reviews. Following the rebuttals, the program committee members and
area chairs discussed further and ?nalized their reviews.
Final acceptance decisions and presentation categories were made at the area chair meeting in Seattle with the program chair. Of the 154 submissions, 19 were selected for poster presentation and 20 were selected for podium presentation. The papers cover a wide range of topics in robotics spanning manipulation, locomotion, machine leaing, localization, visual SLAM, haptics, biologically inspired design and control, etc.
The conference spanned two and a half days. Following the RSS tradition, there were four invited talks by leaders in ?elds that inspire robotics.
