We aim to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas and encourage the presentation of late-breaking by providing a high-impact venue for open discussion and work-in-progress. Submissions will be evaluated based on technical quality and alignment with the workshop’s core themes.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
A) Extended Abstracts (2-4 pages): Highlighting ongoing research, preliminary findings, or late-breaking results that spark immediate discussion.
B) Perspective & Review Papers (2-4 pages): Concise, provocative reviews addressing recent trends (ideally in the past 5 years), future directions, or identifying critical gaps in safety-critical robotics.
SCOPE
Topics of interest include (not limited to):
Safe imitation and reinforcement learning
AI-based Control Strategies
Safety-critical software architectures
Handling non-linearities in robot joint control
Safe Physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI)
Control strategies for active and hybrid compliance
Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) in robots.
Formal verification and validation of robot control software.
Stability guarantees in coupled, contact-rich environments.
Sensorless force estimation and proprioception for interaction.
Middleware robot software (ROS2, YARP, ...).
