We have a diverse lineup of invited speakers and welcome contributions on socially-aware navigation, HRI, human modeling and prediction, foundation models, learning-based navigation, simulation, benchmarking, datasets, safety, and real-world deployments.
All accepted papers will be presented as posters, with selected contributions invited for spotlight talks. Best paper prizes will also be awarded.
Paper: 4–6 pages + unlimited references
Deadline:September 5, 2026
