This is the Call for Papers for the VI Brazilian Humanoid Robot Workshop (BRAHUR) and the VII Brazilian Workshop on Service Robotics (BRASERO). These events will take place in parallel, within the I CROS – 1st Brazilian Conference on Robotics, held between April 28th and 30th, 2025, at UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais), in Belo Horizonte, MG, under the coordination of professors João Alberto Fabro (UTFPR-Curitiba/PR) and Paulo Ferreira Jr. (UFPel-Pelotas/RS). These workshops will cover the most exciting new developments in the humanoid and service robotics field and related technologies. ( https://utfpr.curitiba.br/brahurbrasero2025 )
## Important Dates ##
Submission deadline: March 21, 2025
Notification: April 04, 2025
Camera-ready: April 11, 2025
## Submission Guidelines ##
Considering that the primary goal of the joint workshops is the dissemination and sharing of work developed in robotics areas, focusing on humanoid robots and service robots, the works do not need to be original, but they must be relevant to the community (works published previously will NOT be accepted). Papers will be reviewed based on relevance, technical soundness, and clarity of presentation.
All papers must not simultaneously be submitted to another journal or conference.
Papers may be written in Portuguese or English. Articles written in Portuguese should also include the title and abstract in English.
Papers must not exceed 6 (six) pages including all figures, references, and appendices, and must be submitted in one PDF file. Please, rely on good quality figures. The IEEE format for article submission should be followed:
http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/files/ieeeconf_A4.dot
http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/tex.php#latexclass (A4)
At least one author must be registered to BRAHUR/BRASERO 2025 for each accepted paper.
