You are cordially invited to contribute Late Breaking Results poster to AIM 2020. The submissions are one-page in length with a streamlined acceptance-decision process, and they are presented at the conference as posters.

This component of the conference technical program is intended to reach out to the broader mechatronics research community, and the submissions are not peer-reviewed. Although accepted posters will be included in the conference proceedings, since they are not considered as publications, they will not be submitted to IEEE for inclusion in the Xplore database.

AIM 2020 invites submissions in all areas of intelligent mechatronic systems, their components, and applications.

Authors of the best poster from Late Breaking Results Posters will receive $400 cash prize along with a certificate.

Yes. You need to register to the Conference as any other attendees.

5. What are the criteria for accepting Late Breaking Results Poster submissions?
The poster should describe mechatronic research or applications that will be of interest to the AIM audience. Posters are not formally peer-reviewed but normal standards of academic integrity and presentation apply. References should be given to prior work. Applications papers, including projects in education are welcome.

6. I had a paper rejected from AIM or another conference or journal. Can I submit a poster based on that paper?

It depends on the publication, so please check the condition by yourself. You can’t reproduce the poster itself elsewhere, but a longer paper on the same topic should be acceptable elsewhere.
