Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines of IROS2026. The program committee will review each contribution, and the authors will be notified of the result.
For each accepted paper, the camera-ready version will be made available on the website, and at least one author must register for the workshop to present a poster on-site.
PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY
Springer Special Issue on Agricultural Robotics
Participants will be encouraged to submit extended versions of their work to an ongoing Springer special issue on Agricultural Robotics. The special issue offers a venue for publishing mature research developed from previous workshops and related discussions.
Join researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, agricultural scientists, and practitioners working to move agricultural robotics from innovation to real-world adoption.
