Awards

During RO-MAN, awards in various categories will be given. The award process is chaired by a designated committee. An initial list of three to five top-ranked candidates will be individuated for each category based on the papers’ overall review score. The winners of each category will be announced at the conference banquet and on the website. Winner will receive an official award certificate and a cash prize. Moreover, they will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper in the special issue of the RSJ International Journal of Advanced Robotic.
