ICRA 2021 : IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

The 2021 International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2021) will
take place from May 30 to June 5, 2021 at Xi’an International Convention and
Exhibition Center in Xi’an, China. Due to the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic,
the ICRA 2021 will be held in a hybrid format, including simultanious on-site and
cloud meetings.

Located in the central-northwest China, Xi’an records the great change of the
country just like a living history book. Called Chang’an (meaning the eternal city)
in ancient times, it is one of the borthplaces of the ancient Chinese civilization in
the Yellow River Basin area. As the eastern terminal of the Silk Road and the site
of the famous Terra Cotta Warriors of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC), the city has
won a reputation all over the world. More than 3,000 years of history including
over 1,100 years as the capital city of ancient dynasties, have endowed the city
with an amazing historical heritage. Travellers marvel at the numerous historical
sites and cultural relics in the city. Xi’an is the capital of Shaanxi Province, China,
a sub-provincial city on the Guanzhong Plain in Northwestern China. Since the
1990s, as part of the economic revival of inland China especially for the central
and northwest regions, the city of Xi’an has re-emerged as an important culture,
industrial and educational center of the central-northwest region, with facilities
for research and development, national security and space exploration. It is the
most populous city in Northwest China and named as one of the 13 emerging
megacities, or megalopolises, in China.

The ICRA 2021 conference promises to be a great event with excellent technical
and social programs, with hybrid simultanious on-site and cloud meetings. Paper
manuscripts reporting original research results on all aspects of robotics, AI and
automation are welcome. Proposals for tutorials and workshops, and organized
sessions, on emerging topics and innovative applications with significant impact
are invited. Video clips illustrating original and impactful results are invited for
video sessions. Exhibits from both industries and research labs are welcome. All
submited contributions will be evaluated for the various awards associated with
the ICRA 2021 conference. Plenary and keynote presentations from the world
top achievers in robotics, AI and automation will be invited and delivered.
