Call for Papers

We invite researchers that work towards safe and robust autonomy of robots in the real world to share their results at our SAFE-ROL workshop at CoRL 2024. This includes contributions in all areas of robot learning, i.e., perception, prediction, planning, and control.

Topics that are in line with the workshop goals include but are not limited to:

• Data curation

• Data generation

• Domain adaptation and generalization

• Uncertainty quantification and out-of-distribution detection

• Interpretability

• Safety envelopes

• Runtime monitoring

• Testing and coverage estimation

Submissions are encouraged to present advancements in algorithms, theory, hardware, benchmarking tools such as datasets or simulators, or new viewpoints that enhance robotic safety and robustness when deployed to real-world scenarios.

Papers accepted for the workshop, along with any supplementary materials, will be accessible prior to the event and will remain available for later visitors. Please note that posting papers here is for informational purposes only and does not equate to official proceedings and is therefore non-archival.

Submission Guidlines

The OpenReview page of our workshop must be used for all submissions.

Submissions must adhere to the SAFE-ROL Workshop template and should not exceed 8 pages, excluding additional pages for references or appendices (8+n pages total). We welcome extended abstracts (~2-4 pages) as well as full papers (~8 pages). The peer review will be double-blind and managed via OpenReview. Reviews will remain confidential, with only the accepted papers being published on OpenReview. Authors are encouraged to enhance their submissions with supplementary materials such as videos, code, or datasets, either as a zip file or through anonymized services like anonymous github repositories.

All accepted papers will be given the opportunity to be presented at a poster session at the workshop venue. A selection of the accepted papers will be given the opportunity for exposure through a spotlight presentation. Please note that we are currently not offering options for remote presentations.

We welcome work that is currently in progress, under peer review, or has been published recently. Additionally, papers that have been accepted to the main conference are also eligible for submission to the workshop.
