[CFP] ICRA 2026 Workshop on "Connected Autonomous Robotic Systems"

[Mata Khalili]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate and contribute to the upcoming ICRA 2026 Workshop on “Connected Autonomous Robotic Systems”, taking place in Vienna, Austria, on June 1st, 2026.

Workshop website: https://connected-robots.com/
Submission page: http://tiny.cc/Connected-Robots

Submission deadline: April 17, 2026
Notification of Acceptance: May 8, 2026

This workshop focuses on how communication networks empower robotic autonomy and how autonomous robotic systems impose new requirements for communication infrastructures.

Topics of interest (Including, but not limited to):

• Communication-aware perception, planning, and control for autonomous robots
• Network-constrained pose estimation, localization, and state estimation
• Edge-cloud robotics and digital twins for real-time autonomous systems
• Cloud-assisted learning, manipulation, and centralized perception under latency and reliability constraints
• Network-enabled multi-robot and multi-agent coordination in autonomy-critical scenarios
• Joint communication and sensing for robotic perception and control
• Heterogeneous network support (WiFi, cellular, satellite) for connected autonomous systems
• Communication requirements and architectures derived from robotic autonomy workloads
• Network-aware safety and robustness mechanisms for connected autonomous robots
• Evaluation, benchmarking, and experimental validation of network-constrained robotic systems

Invited Speakers:
Ken Goldberg, UC Berkeley
Prachi Sachdeva, TNO
Florian Pokorny, KTH
Yoshinori Kitatsuji, KDDI

We look forward to your contributions and to seeing you in Vienna.
