Call for Papers

We welcome submissions (up to 4-6 pages) to be presented in a brief spotlight talk (2-3 min) and a subsequent poster session (about 20-30 min). The manuscripts should use the IEEE ICRA two-column format. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their originality, technical quality and clarity, and their relevance to the field. We especially encourage women and young researchers to submit papers, in order to support gender balance in robotics and the promotion of early-career researchers to establish themselves within the community. All accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website. Contributions to the workshop may address but are not limited to the following aspects:

  • Representations for compliant manipulation.
  • Symbol grounding of in-contact actions and effects.
  • Semantic planning for compliant manipulation tasks.
  • Whole-body compliant control of humanoid robots.
  • Cognitive control startegies for physical contacts.
  • Automatic parameterization strategies for multi-objective controllers.
  • Concepts and implementations for semantic control frameworks.
  • Learning of forward and inverse models of compliant interaction.
  • High-level semantic analysis of low-level controller signals.
