CALL FOR PAPERS
============================
Autonomous Robots and Agents
A Special Track at the 38th International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS 2025)

Daytona Beach, Florida, USA
May 20-23, 2025
http://ktiml.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/FLAIRS2025/

--------------
The Florida AI Research Society (FLAIRS) hosts the conference since 1988 and FLAIRS is one of the oldest AI conferences. The 38th conference is organised at Daytona Beach, Florida, USA on May 20-23, 2025.

Autonomy is treated as the fundamental part of intelligence – for a system to be assumed intelligent, some level of autonomy needs to be demonstrated. The goal of the track on Autonomous Robots and Agents is bringing researchers from areas of robotics, intelligent agents, and artificial intelligence together to work on novel integrated approaches for development of autonomous systems, both physical and virtual.

This track is intended to AI community that applies own results in real environments using physical (robots) and virtual agents as well as to researchers in related areas namely robotics, computer games, and intelligent agents to present own challenges and solutions and to grasp novel AI techniques applicable in real-life problems.

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work related to increasing autonomy and reasoning capabilities of agents either physical (robots) or virtual (such as game characters). We, in particular, encourage submissions that are integrating approaches and methods from different areas and contribute to bridging more research areas such as robotics, computer games, and intelligent agents.

The track runs since 2014, everyone is welcome to look at the papers from previous editions on the special track web page.

--------------
Topics include:

* system architectures bridging sensory and action elements with reasoning capabilities
* perception, processing, and acting: sensors, vision, motion systems
* planning domain/world representation for real-life problems
* automated extraction/acquisition of planning domain/world models
* goal reasoning
* life-long autonomy
* motion, path, and action planning
* planning and execution
* robot control and behaviour: localisation, navigation, planning, simulation, visualisation, virtual reality modeling
* evolutionary and cognitive robotics
* entertainment robotics
* applications of autonomous intelligent robots: robots for exploration, service, hazardous environments
* intelligent virtual agents, autonomous characters, and computer games

--------------
Publication and Paper Submission:

Interested authors should format their papers according to the FLAIRS formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not accepted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed six pages (four pages for short papers presented as a poster). This limit excludes references. Rejected full papers might be accepted as short papers or posters, if reviewers found interest in the idea but the paper quality was not sufficient to be published in full length. Appendices after the references are permitted but might not be reviewed, and appendices will not be permitted in the final version of the paper if it is accepted. For FLAIRS-38, the reviewing is a double-blind process. Author names and affiliations must be excluded from the paper (but include them in the EasyChair meta-data). Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, accessed through the conference website (http://www.flairs-38.info/). The authors should indicate the Autonomous Robots and Agents special track for submissions. The FloridaOJ will publish the proceedings of FLAIRS. FLAIRS requires that there is at least one full author registration per paper.

--------------
Important dates:

* Abstract submission deadline: January 20, 2025 (Note: Abstract is required to submit full paper!)
* Paper submission deadline:    January 27, 2025
* Notification of paper decisions: March 10, 2025
* Final version of papers due:   April 9, 2025
