IROS 2024 Workshop on Environment Dynamics Matters: Embodied Navigation to Movable Objects
The IROS 2024 Workshop on Environment Dynamics Matters: Embodied Navigation to Movable Objects aims to emphasize the importance of environment dynamics in long-horizon embodied navigation and manipulation tasks. The workshop will be held virtually and is open to researchers worldwide. The topics of interest include the extraction of spatio-temporal object information, modeling of spatial-temporal object information, generation of dynamic simulation environment, planning of smart actions for dynamic embodied navigation and manipulation, and deployment of dynamic embodied navigation and manipulation on real-world robotic platforms.
The workshop invites researchers to submit an extended abstract in the standard IEEE conference template, 2 pages. Accepted papers will be invited to be presented as posters during the workshop, and the best paper candidates will be invited to give a five-minute talk. The submission deadline is September 8th, 2024, and the acceptance notification will be sent out on September 22nd, 2024.
The workshop will feature invited speakers from top universities, including MIT, University of Texas at Austin, University of Freiburg, UC Berkeley, and Georgia Institute of Technology. The organizer of the workshop is Huaping Liu from Tsinghua University, and the co-organizers are David Hsu from National University of Singapore, Di Guo from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Tao Kong from ByteDance Research, and Abhishek Gupta from University of Washington.
The workshop is endorsed by IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Algorithms for Planning and Control of Robot Motion, IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics, IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Machine Learning for Automation, IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Mobile Manipulation, IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Robot Learning, and CAA Technical Committee on Intelligent Automation. The workshop is sponsored by NOKOV Motion Capture.
