Presentation instructions

Oral, poster and virtual presentations at Robotics Forum conferences.

Oral presentations

Oral presentations are 15 minutes long, including 5 minutes for questions and discussion. The paper must be presented by one of its authors or co-authors, in English, the official language of the conference.

  • Present from your own laptop or from the computer in the session room (Windows and PowerPoint).
  • Come to the session room with your laptop or a USB drive with your presentation file. A volunteer helps start each presentation.
  • Keep a copy of your presentation in your email as a backup.
  • If your slides contain videos, make sure they are embedded and play correctly.

Poster presentations

  • Maximum poster size: 36 inches wide by 48 inches high (3 × 4 ft).
  • Print your own poster and bring it with you.
  • Set up your poster in the morning before the opening ceremony and remove it at the end of the session.
  • One of the authors or co-authors must be at the poster during the poster session for discussion.
  • Use large text that can be read from a distance.

Virtual presentations

Live video presenters submit an abstract or full paper, which goes through the peer review. After you confirm your participation, the organising committee arranges a test run shortly before the conference and tells you how to connect and present. After the conference you receive the certificate of presentation and the proceedings.
