Manuscript preparation

Manuscripts should be prepared using the Springer Proceedings in Advanced Robotics (SPAR) format. You can download the style/template files below:

Submissions should not exceed 16 pages in this format. Although in the initial submissions it was possible to submit supplementary material, no supplementary material will be included in the book.

Detailed information on manuscript preparation can be found here.
