** New this year **: PHOTO CONTEST

The idea is to collect the best photos of your humanoid robots, which will be voted online on our Twitter and Facebook page. A jury will consider the photos that receive the more likes and select the best ones according to different categories:

• best humanoid photo

• best funny humanoid photo

The winner(s) for each category will be announced in Birmingham at the conference.

To participate to the photo contest, please send your pictures to ieee.ras.humanoids2017@gmail.com with the tag [photo_contest].
