*** ABOUT LARS/SBR 2016***
 
The LARS/SBR Robotics Symposium is part of the ROBOTICA 2016, and aims at promoting a comprehensive scientific meeting in the area of Intelligent Robotics, bringing together researchers, undergraduate and graduate students of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering and related areas.
 
The event will be held through technical sessions of oral presentation of full papers and technical lectures of recognized importance in the area. We are looking forward to seeing you in LARS/SBR 2016.
 
The LARS and SBR are the major scientific/academic meetings of the entire event that will have others relevant events on robotics.  The event will also comprise CTDR/WTDR - Workshop on MSc Dissertation and PhD Thesis in Robotics, the  WRE -  Workshop of Robotics in Education,   LARC - 15th. Latin American Robotics Competition;   CBR  - 14th Competição Brasileira de Robótica ;  OBR - 10th.  Olimpíada Brasileira de Robótica;   MNR - 6th.  Mostra Nacional de Robótica.

*** PUBLICATION ***
- PROCEEDINGS
  The proceedings will be published by CPS IEEE, being available through the IEEE Xplore site.
 
- JOURNALS SPECIAL ISSUES
The best articles from IEEE LARS/SBR 2016 will be selected based on the review scores given by at least three referees.
Their authors will be invited to submit extended versions (by at least 30%) to the special issue through the
Editorial Manager System at www.editorialmanager.com/jint/. Following JINT policy, the articles will go to the
reviewing process of JINT, done by another three experts.
