[Meetings] IROS2022 Workshop on Mobile Manipulation and Student Travel Grant

[Georgia Chalvatzaki]

We cordially invite you to our first workshop on Mobile Manipulation and Embodied Intelligence (MoMa) to take place in a hybrid format on the 23rd of October in conjunction with the IEEE IROS 2022 in Kyoto, Japan: https://mobile-manipulation.net/events/moma2022/

Our IROS2022 MOMA workshop will address the ongoing challenges and opportunities of researching embodied AI mobile manipulator robots in real-world unstructured environments, bringing together a broader community of researchers from robotics, AI planning, computer vision, and machine learning, who shall come together to discuss and contribute to the challenging topic of embodied AI mobile manipulation.

We have an amazing lineup of speakers covering diverse topics: https://mobile-manipulation.net/events/moma2022/#speakers

Call for Papers

We encourage participants to submit their research related to the topics of interest in this workshop in a single PDF. Submissions may be up to 4 pages long, including figures but excluding references and supplementary material. Please use the IEEE conference template.

Any type of contribution, either already published or work in progress, is welcome to our workshop.

All submitted contributions will go through a single-blind review process. Accepted papers will be presented in a poster session and 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.

We are planning for a Best Paper Award! Info to come soon!

Submission Deadline: 22 September 2022, 23:59pm PT

Notification of Acceptance: 29 September 2022

Student travel grant sponsored by the TC on Mobile Manipulation

We offer one travel grant for IROS 2022 in conjunction with this workshop to cover expenses of up to $2,500. The award refers to students who want to show their active interest in the mobile manipulation field, particularly those from underrepresented groups.

Submit together with your short paper a motivation letter of up to two pages and attach your CV as a single PDF as supplementary material, with a filename TCMM_StudentAward_Surname.pdf

We are looking forward to your participation!
