SIMPAR brings together researchers and engineers from academia and industry to identify and solve critical issues in software development for autonomous robots and to boost a smooth shifting of results from simulated to real-world applications. More info @ www.simpar.org

The conference will be held in person, and there are no plans for a streaming option.

The topics covered by the conference include but are not limited to novel robotics applications driven by research, industry, and society’s call for developing systems of ever-increasing complexity. In particular, systems with sliding autonomy, humanoid robots, distributed robots, cognitive robotics, and mobile sensor networks.

Fundamental open problems are still waiting for sound answers, and the development of new robotics applications needs to be adequately addressed by innovative and practical tools, libraries, and algorithms ready to be incorporated into new projects.

Furthermore, programming languages and simulation environments significantly reduce large-scale systems development time and cost.
