[agents] [CFP][meetings] Autonomous Robots and Multirobot Systems (ARMS) Workshop at AAMAS 2025

[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 2025, and
to accompany the Robotics and Control Area of Interest of the main
conference.

Workshop Website: <https://arms2025.di.unimi.it/>

AAMAS 2024 Website: <https://aamas2025.org/>

** Important Dates **

Paper submission deadline: February 16, 2024

** 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**

<https://openreview.net/group?id=ifaamas.org/AAMAS/2025/Workshop/ARMS>

The submissions should follow the AAMAS 2025 format (see
https://aamas2025.org/index.php/conference/calls/submission-instructions-main-technical-track/
for instructions or directly download the LaTeX style file from
https://aamas2025.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/AAMAS-2025-Formatting-Instructions-CCBY.zip
).
Papers should not exceed 8 pages + references in length and do not have to
be anonymized; we follow a single-blind review process. Also, there will be
no archival proceedings; papers will be made available to the workshop
participants upon request.

** Fast-Track Review for Extended Abstracts **
As part of our coordination with the main AAMAS conference, we offer a
fast-track review process to robotic papers that were initially submitted
as full papers but have been accepted as extended abstracts ("short
papers") to the main AAMAS conference. While extended abstracts are
typically presented as posters at AAMAS, authors who submit their original
full version to ARMS fast-track will have the opportunity to give a full
oral presentation of their work at the workshop. Authors should submit
their original full version of the paper. Please include the original AAMAS
paper number with your submission.
