This workshop addresses the paradigm shift from “arrival-oriented” space missions to “sustainable presence,” highlighting the indispensable role of space robotics as the precursors and custodians of extraterrestrial infrastructure.

By combining conceptual framing, agency/industry insights, and community discussion, the workshop seeks to chart a roadmap for how robotics will pioneer, construct, and maintain infrastructures for future human settlements on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Contributions are welcome on (but not limited to):

• Robotic pre-deployment of infrastructure (power, habitats, ISRU plants)

• Dexterous manipulation, modular assembly, and multi-robot collaboration

• In-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing (ISAM)

• Autonomy and fleet management under deep-space communication constraints

• Simulation frameworks, digital twins, and validation platforms

• Robotic interfaces, standards, and modular affordances

• AI-driven autonomy, explainable mission planning, and safety assurance

• Lessons learned from ISS and on-orbit demonstrations and ground analog tests

For abstract submission:

• Extended Abstracts (1–4 pages) in IEEE conference format are invited.

• Authors may additionally provide:

-  Related publications (already published, if relevant)

- Video links (optional, e.g. demonstration footage or simulation results)

• All submissions will undergo a review for relevance and quality.

For accepted authors:

All accepted authors will be invited to submit (1) and/or (2):

1. Submit a paper* for inclusion in the workshop proceedings.
   *Extended abstract (1~2 pages) or full paper (max. 8 pages)

2. Present a poster during the networking session.

In addition, selected authors will be eligible to:

3. Deliver a Lightning Talk (5–7 minutes TBD) during the workshop (selected contributions).

Authors who wish to be considered for a Lightning Talk should indicate this at the time of abstract submission (via the submission form).

At least one of the accepted authors and participants should register to the iSpaRo conference.
