Today I browse through the proceeding of IROS 2010. It was a mistake, because it contains 1000 papers in this proceeding. I did not notice the sheer amount of papers until I have browsed a few hundreds. Instead of throwing away my bookmark in the half way, I decided to carry on with the other hundreds. It would have been easier if I browse the proceeding according to the tracks of the conference program. Anyway, at the end, I compile a list of interesting paper, which are mainly papers on vision based control. Most of them are contained in the “Computer Vision” track, the “Visual Tracking” track, and the “Visual Servoing” track.
