Title: RSS 2024 Workshop on Semantic Reasoning and Goal Understanding in Robotics

Description: The 1st Workshop on Semantic Reasoning and Goal Understanding in Robotics (SemRob) will be held at the 20th Robotics Science and Systems (RSS 2024) conference in Delft, Netherlands, on 19 July 2024. The workshop aims to bring together robotics researchers, engineers, and practitioners from various communities to discuss new hybrid methodologies for semantic reasoning and abstract goal understanding. The organizers, speakers, panelists, and technical program committee members come from diverse sub-communities, including Robot Learning, Embodied AI, Planning + Controls, Cognitive Robotics, Neuro-Symbolism, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Multimodal Machine Learning. The workshop invites paper submissions on various topics, including learning semantically-rich and generalizable robot state representations, learning general goal representations, reasoning mechanisms for generalization in open-vocabulary contexts, and more. The submission deadline is 3 June 2024, 23:59 AOE.
