This requires a close collaboration between researchers from both the AI and the Robotics communities. In this direction, this workshop aims at constituting a stable, long-term forum where researchers from both the P&S and the Robotics communities can openly discuss about relevant issues, research and development progress, future directions and open challenges related to P&S when applied to Robotics.<br><br>The PlanRob workshop is proposed in synergy with ICAPS tracks. We are<br>trying to explore different ways to synchronize with Humans and Robotics Track but<br>also with Knowledge Engineering, Integrated Execution and System Architecture track. The PlanRob WS aims to maintain a more informal forum where also more preliminary/visionary works can be discussed stimulating direct and open interactions.<br><br>Topics of interest include but not limited to the following:<br><br>- planning domain representations for robotics applications;<br>- mission, path, and motion planning for robots;<br>- integrated planning and execution in robotic architectures;<br>- planning and coordination methods for multi-robot teams;<br>- mixed-initiative planning and sliding autonomy for robotic systems;<br>- human-aware planning and execution in human-robot interaction;<br>- adversarial action planning in competitive robotic domains;<br>- formal methods for robot planning and control;<br>- P&S methods for optimization and adaptation in robotics;<br>- benchmark planning domains for robots;<br>- optimizing behavior in large scale automated or semi-automated systems;<br>- real-world planning applications for autonomous and intelligent robots.<br><br>Important Dates<br>***************<br><br>Paper submission: March 20, 2020<br>Notification of acceptance: April 6, 2020<br>Camera-ready version due:TBD<br>Workshop Date: June 14 or June 15, 2020<br><br>Submissions<br>***************<br><br>There are two types of submissions: short position statements and regular papers. <br>Position papers are a maximum of 4 (four) pages.
