===Details===

Workshops should focus on key areas of active research and provide a forum
for participants to exchange new ideas and discuss recent results. We
encourage proposals for topics that have substantial community interest,
with a creative and innovative workshop program that will attract a broad
audience. Workshops and tutorials focusing on academia-industry partnership
and technology transfer of robotics research are welcome. The primary
criteria for selection are anticipated level of interest, impact, novelty
or creativity, and opportunities for interaction among participants.

Tutorials should target established and emerging research topics, provide
up-to-date descriptions of the state of the art, and be organized by
individuals who are recognized leaders in their respective fields.

Workshop and tutorial proposals should include the following information:

- Title

- Format (indicate full or half day, workshop or tutorial)

- Main Organizer (one person only, complete address, phone, and email)

- Co-Organizers (complete address and email)

- Statement of Objectives

- Intended Audience and Expected Number of Attendees

- List of Speakers and Format (schedule, topics)

- Statement of Inclusion and Diversity (see below)

Template files can be downloaded from the workshop website:
https://ro-man2021.org/workshops-and-tutorials/

The proposal must be submitted through the Papercept Conference Site:
https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/

If you have any questions about the workshops and tutorials proposal
submission, please contact the Workshop Co-Chairs, Alexander Aroyo (
alexander.aroyo at uwaterloo.ca) and Jonathan Kelly (jkelly at utias.utoronto.ca).

Upon approval, workshop and tutorial organizers will be asked to produce
and maintain a dedicated webpage, which will be used to disseminate updated
information about the workshop/tutorial and for promotion.

=== Inclusion @ RO-MAN 2021 ===

In addition to general inclusion and diversity considerations for your
workshop, consider the following needs of attendees of a virtual conference.

Attendees may be in different time zones, have caregiving/other
responsibilities, have less reliable access to internet, or lack quiet
private space to participate during the scheduled timing of the event.

You may consider offering:

- asynchronous access to materials,

- asynchronous forms of interaction, discussions or Q&A (e.g., text-based),

- recordings of the event for participants to access the material later,

- an alternative to using a camera/microphone during breakout sessions if
participants are unable to use it during the event,

- session timing details provided well in advance for planning purposes, and

- inclusive time zone schedule display.
