Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) - 2019 Edition

The Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL) is a new annual international conference focusing on the intersection of robotics and machine learning. The first meeting (CoRL 2017) and the second meeting (CoRL 2018) were held in Mountain View, California on November 13 - 15, 2017 and in Zurich, Switzerland on October 29 - 31, 2018, respectively. They brought together about 350 of the best researchers working on robotics and machine learning.

CoRL 2019 will be held on October 30th- November 1st, 2019, in Osaka, Japan.

The conference is organized with help from the International Foundation of Robotics Research (IFRR), publication support from the Journal of Machine Learning (JMLR), and financial support from sponsors.
