Workshops and Tutorials 

A total of 51 workshops and tutorials will be held on Monday, September 28 and Friday, October 02. Registration is required for the regular workshops and tutorials; this is done via the IROS-2015 registration website. A workshop registration gives you access to all workshops on both workshop days, so you can ignore the workshop selection list on the registration site. (Also note that the workshops have been renumbered for better consistency in the final program).

Morning sessions are 8:30 until 12:30 , with a half-hour coffee break at 10:00. Afternoon sessions are 14:00 until 18:00 , with a half-hour coffee break at 15:30 (times to be confirmed). Corresponding organizers are denoted with an asterisk.

New: please download the index file of the workshop and tutorials proceedings. The document includes information about the poster sessions. Note that the linked PDFs are not included, as the full workshop proceedings will only be distributed to registered workshop participants.
