Workshop Announcement
The workshop Shared Challenges in Human-Centered and Resilient Robotic Autonomy will take place at ICRA 2026, bringing together researchers from domestic service robotics, smart manufacturing, and disaster-response robotics to discuss shared challenges and transferable solutions across domains.
As robots are increasingly deployed in homes, factories, clinics, and disaster environments, common challenges emerge: robust autonomy in dynamic and uncertain settings, natural interaction with non-expert users, perception in cluttered or degraded environments, mobile manipulation, and responsible evaluation (including safety, ethics, and benchmarking).
Call for Papers
We invite submissions addressing cross-cutting challenges and transferable approaches in human-centered and resilient robotic autonomy. We especially encourage contributions on skill transfer across domains and the societal implications of deploying robots in real-world settings.
Topics of Interest
- Human–robot interaction and communication with non-expert users
- Navigation, perception, and mapping in dynamic, unstructured, or degraded environments
- Mobile manipulation and grasping in real-world contexts
- Learning and adaptation for cross-domain transfer and planning under uncertainty
- Safety, ethics, benchmarking, and evaluation for long-term robust autonomy
Submission Formats
- Short papers (2–4 pages): work-in-progress & position papers
- Long papers (4–8 pages): integration and experimental papers
- Each submission receives independent review by at least two reviewers
- Accepted papers considered for oral and poster presentation
A Best Paper Award will be presented at the workshop.
