[agents] [CFP][meetings] Autonomous Robots and Multirobot Systems (ARMS) Workshop at AAMAS 2023

[Mohan Sridharan]

We invite you to submit your work to a full-day workshop on Autonomous
Robots and Multirobot Systems (ARMS) to be held as part of AAMAS 2023, and
to accompany the Robotics Area of Interest of the main conference.

Workshop Website: https://u.cs.biu.ac.il/~agmon/arms2023/
AAMAS 2023 Website: https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/

** *Important Dates* **
Paper submission deadline: January 30, 2023
Notification of acceptance: March 13, 2023
Submission of camera-ready version: TBD

** *Overview* **
Robots are agents, too. Indeed, agents researchers often use robotics
problems as motivating examples. Both practical and analytical techniques
developed by agents researchers influence, and are influenced by, research
in autonomous robots and multi-robot systems. Despite the overlap between
the agents and robotics research areas, researchers from these communities
only have a few opportunities to meet and interact. The Robotics Area of
Interest in the main AAMAS conference (formerly, the “Robotics Track”) is
one such opportunity. The goal of this workshop is to build on this
opportunity, offering an informal and dedicated forum where agents and
robotics researchers can interact, discuss promising research directions
and open problems, and foster further collaborations.

Contributions are sought in all areas of robotics, in particular those that
are related to autonomous agents research. Theoretical papers are welcome,
as long as they clearly specify the connection to challenges in robotics.
Empirical studies should ideally present experiments with real robots,
although physical simulation studies are also acceptable. Papers that focus
on mechanical aspects and low-level control should make an effort to relate
this work to the agents community. Areas of particular interest include
(but are not limited to):

- Knowledge representation and reasoning in single- and multi-robot (agent)
settings
- machine learning in single- and multi-robot (agent) settings
- single- and multi-robot (agent) planning
- human-robot (agent) interaction and teamwork
- multi-robot teamwork
- game-theoretic coordination
- market-based methods for coalition formation and task allocation
- large-scale multi-robot systems and swarms
- imitation and learning by demonstration/example

We particularly welcome papers with accompanying demos of real robots,
which can come as recorded videos (please use YouTube or general-purpose
repositories to share the video if it is ready at the submission time) or
as live demos during the workshop.

** *Submissions details ***
The submission website is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arms2023

Submission should follow AAMAS 2023 format (see
https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/calls/submission-instructions/ for
instructions or directly download the LaTeX style file:
https://aamas2023.soton.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/443/2022/06/AAMAS-2023-Formatting-Instructions.zip
)
The length of each paper including figures may not exceed 8 pages (plus any
number of pages for references)

Papers do not have to be anonymized; we will follow a single-blind review
process. Also, there will be no archival proceedings; papers will be made
available to the workshop participants.

** *Fast-Track Review Process ***
As part of our coordination with the main AAMAS conference, we offer a
fast-track review process to papers that have been accepted as extended
abstracts ("short papers”) to the Robotics Area of Interest of the main
AAMAS conference. For such papers, please include the original AAMAS paper
number with the submission.
