Exploring Semantic Reasoning and Goal Understanding in Robotics: RSS 2024 Workshop
We are excited to announce the 1st Workshop on Semantic Reasoning and Goal Understanding in Robotics (SemRob) at the 20th Robotics Science and Systems conference (RSS 2024) in Delft, Netherlands on July 19, 2024. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners from various disciplines to discuss new hybrid methodologies that combine robotics foundation models with modeling mechanisms for semantic reasoning and abstract goal understanding. Topics of interest include learning semantically-rich and generalizable robot state representations, reasoning mechanisms for generalization in open-vocabulary contexts, and grounding foundation models with other modalities.
The SemRob workshop suggests a 4+N or 8+N paper format, and submissions will be handled through CMT. The paper submission deadline is June 3, 2024, and the workshop will feature invited speakers from fields such as Robot Learning, Embodied AI, Planning + Controls, Cognitive Robotics, Neuro-Symbolism, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Multimodal Machine Learning. Our goal is to facilitate interdisciplinary research and discussions on methods that could facilitate the deployment of semantics-aware and generalizable embodied agents in unstructured and dynamic real-world environments.
Join us at RSS 2024 for an engaging workshop on semantic reasoning and goal understanding in robotics!
