Motivation
The scope of this half-day workshop is to gather researchers from different research areas across several sections. This way, we will range the discussion from previously experienced problems to contemporary solutions while focusing on the future trends that remain an open problem in the community. Talks from distinguished invited speakers, a lightning talks session with contributed papers, and a discussion panel will enable interaction among esteemed scholars, young and upcoming researchers, and an interdisciplinary audience for exchanging ideas, enhancing research philosophies, and fostering synergies.
Cognitive robotics and AI are the fastest-growing sub-fields nowadays. This has piqued the interest of roboticists worldwide, resulting in a cascade of papers with applications varying over a wide span, including domestic, search and rescue, and medical, to mention a few. In this spirit, we will invite original research papers on topics including (but not limited to) the following:
- Robots that find objects
- Robots that understand spatial relations
- Robots that learn to detect object attributes and affordances
- Robots that understand natural language and carry out commands
- Conversational robots (if they don’t understand the command, they can ask a question for clarification)
- Robots that answer questions about scenes
- Robots that learn from observation
- Robots that recognize actions
- Robots that predict the next event
- Robots that learn to perform very large numbers of tasks, semantic navigation
- Robots learning assembly tasks
- Robots understand human emotional states
- Social robots inferring intentions
- The usage of LLMs in cognitive robot planning
- etc.
Submissions should follow the ACM SIG Proceedings guidelines available at http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html/ and may be of two types:
- full papers (6-10 pages)
- short papers (2-4 pages)
Accepted papers will also be made available on the workshop’s website, and authors will be invited to present their work during the workshop.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically via the Easychair conference management system at the following address: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=setn2024.
