CFP – IROS 2020 Workshop on Robotic Manipulation of Deformable Objects (ROMADO)

CALL FOR PAPERS:
ROMADO – IROS 2020 Workshop on Robotic Manipulation of Deformable
Objects
Full day workshop at IROS 2020, October 29th, Las Vegas, NV, USA
Website: http://commandia.unizar.es/irosworkshop2020/

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Novel solutions for the robotic manipulation of deformable objects can
enable new real-world tasks in sectors of strategic interest. These
include the manufacturing industry, agriculture, or medicine. However,
deformable objects are complex to model and require the manipulation
system to have high adaptability and the ability to operate under
uncertainty. These are important challenges and, although exciting
progress has been made over the past years, there remain many open
technical questions in this area regarding perception, planning and
control. The workshop will bring together researchers to showcase recent
work, explore connections between the targeted topics of interest and
spark discussion about current and future research in the area.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

– Grasping for deformable objects
– Dexterous manipulation for deformable objects
– Manipulation planning for deformable objects
– Shape control of deformable objects
– Visual sensing for manipulation of deformable objects
– Tactile sensing for manipulation of deformable objects
– Multi-modal perception for manipulation of deformable objects
– Machine learning for manipulation of deformable objects
– Multi-robot manipulation of deformable objects
– Human-robot manipulation of deformable objects

SUBMISSIONS
We solicit contributions of two types:

– Short papers (2-4 pages): Concise descriptions of preliminary results
and ongoing work.
– Regular papers (4-8 pages): More detailed descriptions of ongoing work
or of more mature developments.

Papers should be in PDF format and prepared using the standard IEEE
template for IROS. They will be reviewed and their acceptance will be
decided on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the
workshop's topics of interest. The accepted papers will be made
available on the workshop's website. The accepted papers will be
presented as posters at the workshop, with the possibility of oral
presentation for selected papers.

Papers should be submitted by email to romadoworkshop@gmail.com. Please
identify clearly the type of submission (“Short” or “Regular”) in the
subject of the email. An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent shortly
after submission.

We will consider the publication of an independently peer-reviewed
journal special issue after the workshop. Authors of papers presented at
the workshop would be invited to submit extended versions to the special
issue.

Note that we are ready to hold the workshop virtually if required due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cell Detection with Deep Learning – Frontiers in Digital Health

Call for Papers:

Cell Detection with Deep Learning – Frontiers in Digital Health

About this Research Topic

Automated cell detection is a very important step in image analysis of cells. Given rapid advancements in microscopy technology, life-science researchers acquire big data in cell biology for breakthrough scientific discovery. However, manual analysis of high-content and high-throughput screening for quantifying and capturing cellular features at a large scale is a formidable task. Such challenge in image analysis of biological cells calls for the aid of artificial intelligence to produce fast and accurate analysis results. This research topic focuses on the use of state-of-the-art deep learning methods for cell detection. Authors are invited to submit papers that address the application of deep learning to the following areas, but not limited to

  • Cell segmentation

  • Cell counting

  • Dynamic cell tracking

  • Cell shape analysis

  • Quantification of cell distribution

  • Quantification of cell morphology

  • Detection of organelles in single cells

Important Date

  • Paper submission due: 01 October 2020
