Important Dates:
Submission deadline: April 7 - April 17 - April 28 (Final Deadline)
Notification of acceptance: May 5
Final Version: May 12
Workshop Date: May 23
Submission Format: Papers must be up to 4 pages (without references) in IEEE Conf format with 2 columns. Any changes will be announced as soon as possible. Papers with video as supplementary content will automatically enter the best video competition. We highly encourage video submissions.
During submission, authors should also highlight the topic to which the submission belongs with respect to the core topics of the workshop:
1) Connected Reconfigurable Manufacturing,
2) Industrial Robotics and Automation,
3) Human-Machine Interaction, and
4) AI-Enabled Manufacturing Capability.
Finally, the submissions should be followed with a question or concern for the future development of the field or implementation in real-world scenarios.
We invite contributions from early-career researchers, industrial experts, roboticists, and professionals in the fields of manufacturing, automation, AI, and human-machine interaction. We particularly encourage submissions from women and young researchers to promote gender balance and provide early-career professionals with a platform to present their work to the broader community.
Best Workshop Paper Award - Sponsored by Franka Robotics and IEEE-RAS TC Machine Learning for Automation
The award for the best-extended abstract will reflect both the quality of the document, as well as the quality of the presentation and the poster interaction. We are also very happy to announce that the Franka Robotics has also offered a Money Prize award for the winner!!!
An independent committee will be selected to judge the contributions and select the winner.
Get ready and prepare your best work!
All submissions will undergo a peer-review process (double-blind) for relevance to the workshop themes and overall quality. Accepted extended abstracts and any accompanying videos will be showcased on the workshop website. Selected manuscripts will be invited to give an oral presentation (spotlight talks) during the workshop, followed by an interactive poster session during the coffee breaks. This format will facilitate networking and deeper discussions on the presented work.
In addition, we are introducing Clinic Sessions as a novel feature of this workshop. During these sessions, participants will have the unique opportunity to receive personalized feedback from panel experts on the real-world impact and practical applications of their research. The clinic sessions will allow for in-depth discussions on how to bridge the gap between academic innovation and industrial implementation, providing valuable insights for refining and advancing research ideas. This interactive format will foster meaningful engagement and collaboration between academia and industry.
