The 2009 IEEE 11th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, ICORR
2009, will be held on June 23-26, 2009, in Kyoto International Conference Center,
Japan. The theme of the conference is “Reaching Users & the Community.”
ICORR 2009 conference invites submissions of high quality research papers
describing original work on the basic sciences of rehabilitation robotics, novel
designs, their employment in clinical trials and case studies, and their relevance toend users. The conference will be focused on the following topics:z Assistive Robotics
z Robotics for Caregivingz Therapeutic Robotics
z Neural-Machine Interfaces & Controlz Mechatronics in Prostheticsz Robotics for Human-Motion Analysis
z Artificial Human Exoskeletonsz Evaluation & Clinical Experiencez Psychosocial Robotics
Contributed Papers: All papers for submission must be prepared strictly following
the IEEE PDF requirements for creating PDF documents for IEEE Xplore®. The
standard number of pages is 6 and minimum/maximum should be 4 and 10, andfrom page 7 extra fees will be charged. All paper submitted for the main conference

23. The aim of the Workshops and Tutorials is to provide focused discussion ofnew or innovative topics. We invite you to organize Workshops or Tutorials(including laboratory presentations) related to the conference themes. A Proposal
must include (1) session form (e.g. laboratory session, workshop or tutorial) andtitle, (2) statement of objectives, (3) organizers name(s), affiliation(s), and contact
information, (4) list of speakers and topics, and approximate time, and (5) intended
audience. The submitted manuscripts will not be reviewed and included in a
separate proceeding. Please see detailed instructions in the conference web site.

Awards: ICORR Best Paper Award and IEEE TNSRE (Trans. on Neural Systems and Rehab. Eng.) Best Paper
Award will be nominated through the review process. All presentation will be evaluated for ICORR Best
Presentation Award. Application for ICORR Young Researcher Travel Award will be announced on the web site.
