Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions to the "Policy Learning in Geometric Spaces" workshop at the 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2023). The workshop will be held in-person on October 1st, 2023, in Detroit, MI, USA.
Our Call for Papers can also be found at: https://sites.google.com/view/iros23-policy-learning

Submission Guidelines
We welcome two types of submissions: short papers (up to 4 pages + references) and extended abstracts (up to 2 pages + references). All submissions should be in PDF format and follow the IROS conference paper template. Please submit your papers through CMT until July 5th, 2023 (all information is available on the workshop website). All submissions will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be presented as posters as well as selected papers as spotlight talks.
The contributed papers will be made available on the workshop’s website. However, this does not constitute an archival publication and no formal workshop proceedings will be made available, meaning contributors are free to publish their work in archival journals or conferences.

Abstract
The field of robotics is constantly evolving and demands robots to operate effectively in complex, 3D environments. A critical requirement for this is the ability of robots to learn policies for tasks such as grasping, manipulation, motion planning, and more. In recent years, reinforcement learning has emerged as a promising approach for policy learning in 3D geometric spaces. Specifically, researchers have focused on the use of point clouds, neural representations of geometry (NeRFs, neural SDFs, or occupancy networks), occlusion maps, and other techniques to achieve this. The persistent challenge in integrating geometric representation in policy learning lies in effectively bridging the gap between high-dimensional and low-dimensional representations of complex spatial environments. To encourage knowledge sharing and foster collaborations, this workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in this area to discuss the latest developments and identify challenges. Through this collaborative effort, we hope to further advance the field of robotics and reinforce the importance of policy learning in geometric spaces.
