Call for Contributions

The workshop's goal is to include a variety of ongoing work from research laboratories focusing on autonomous service robots and explore further the advancements in the context of real-life testing and benchmarking. The workshop also seeks to increase collaboration among attendees through creating space for discussion and exchange of ideas.

Contributions are invited on all topics relevant to real-life testing and benchmarking advancements in autonomous service robots and topics that can help to inform this core idea, including (but not limited to) testing and benchmarking in:

• Human-Robot-Interaction and Cooperation

• Navigation and Mapping in dynamic environments

• Service Robots

• Solving Service Robot Tasks

• General-Purpose Service Robots

• Foundation Models

• Computer Vision and Object Recognition under natural light conditions

• Object Manipulation

• Adaptive Behaviors

• Behavior Integration

• Ambient Intelligence

• Standardization and System Integration

The contributions should be in the IROS standard pdf format and include short work-in-progress and position papers (2-4 pages) or long-format papers (4-8 pages). All papers are to be considered for both oral presentations and posters. Posters will be presented during the scheduled poster session.

Every paper will be reviewed in a single-blind process. The selection of accepted papers will be done by the organizing committee, based on the reviews. Based on the number and quality of submissions, selected papers may be published in a special section or issue of Advanced Robotics, the international journal of the Robotics Society of Japan.

The submissions should be done here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=basr2024
