The SBR (Brazilian Symposium on Robotics) aims to promote a comprehensive scientific meeting in Intelligent Robotics, bringing together researchers, undergraduate and graduate students of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, and related fields.
The SBR and its associated scientific events are the primary scientific/academic meetings of a more significant event that brings relevant developments in robotics, named ROBÓTICA 2025. This also comprises the CBR (Brazilian Robotics Competition), OBR (Brazilian Robotics Olympiad), and MNR (National Robotics Fair). WRE (Workshop on Robotics in Education) and CTDR (Best MSc Dissertation and PhD Thesis Contest in Robotics ) will be satellite events.
Robotics motivates and inspires people of all ages and education levels. In fact, many researchers have already shown that students get more interested and excited about learning several topics when robotics is involved in the learning process. As so, the use of robotics in education has gained great interest over the last decade. The Workshop on Robotics in Education is a forum for discussing scientifical, technical, educational, and other aspects of the usage of robotics in the learning process.
The events will include technical sessions, an oral presentation of full papers, and technical lectures of recognized importance.
Papers must be written in English and must not exceed six (6) pages in standard IEEE format, including title, abstract, tables, figures, and references. Papers should present new solid results in theoretical, empirical, and applied research related to the conference topics. This year the reviewing process will be DOUBLE BLINDED, so authors must hide their names, contact information, acknowledgments, and any other reference in the text to where their research takes place.
The best selected papers will be invited for submission of an extended version in the Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems - JINT
We apologize for the delay and appreciate your understanding.
