Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation 2016
2-4 December, 2015
Canberra, Australia
All full papers submitted to ACRA 2016 will undergo a peer-review process. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers who will give detailed comments. If the submission is accepted, the authors will submit a revised (“camera-ready”) version that takes into account this feedback. The review process is managed by the program chair of the conference.
All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process: authors declare their names and affiliations in the manuscript for the reviewers to see, but reviewers do not know each other’s identities, nor do the authors receive information about who has reviewed their manuscript.

Venue
ACRA 2016 is hosted in sunny Brisbane, at The University of Queensland (St. Lucia, Brisbane). If coming from the airport, aim for “UQ Lakes Station” (please see note below)
Sessions
Sessions will be held at in the Advanced Engineering Building (AEB) Room 49-200.
Registration and tea/coffee break will utilise the foyer area outside of the theatre.
(detailed in the ACRA AEB Floorplan/Map).
Map
The AEB, local accommodation and public transport are show below.
(Source: Google Maps).
(Also available as a printable PDF Map)
Accommodation
- Womens College (~150 meters from AEB)
(Note: Guest Rooms are co-ed at this college)
Location: UQ Campus, College Road, St Lucia 4067
Website: http://womens.uq.edu.au/
Phone: (07) 3377-4500
Rooms Types:
(1) Single Rooms with shared Ensuite (shared with room next door) @ $90 per night including breakfast
(2) Single Rooms with their own Ensuite @ $95 per night including breakfast

Parking
The closest parking is the Conifer Knoll. This is $5/day. Though, registration includes a 3-Day Go Card. 🙂
Getting to ACRA from BNE Airport
- Uber: The fastest way to get from BNE to the UQ campus. About 30-40 min and will cost about $50
- Public transport: Aim for UQ Lakes station. The procedure is to take the Gold Coast airport train to Park Road station –then–> transfer to a bus towards UQ (tip: this means crossing the busway, most buses will terminate at UQ Lakes, just ask to be certain). This 50-60 minutes and will cost about $25.
(See sample route/schedule here).
