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.<br><br>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): <br><br>- Knowledge representation and reasoning in single- and multi-robot (agent) settings<br>- machine learning in single- and multi-robot (agent) settings <br>- single- and multi-robot (agent) planning <br>- human-robot (agent) interaction and teamwork <br>- multi-robot teamwork <br>- game-theoretic coordination <br>- market-based methods for coalition formation and task allocation <br>- large-scale multi-robot systems and swarms<br>- imitation and learning by demonstration/example<br><br>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.<br><br>** <b>Submissions details </b>**<br>The submission website is: <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arms2023">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arms2023</a><br><br>Submission

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.<br><br>** <b>Fast-Track Review Process </b>**<br>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.<br><br>** <b>Organizing Committee</b> **<br>Nicola Basilico, University of Milan, Italy<br>Mohan Sridharan, University of Birmingham, UK<br>Noa Agmon, Bar Ilan University, Israel<br>Francesco Amigoni, Politecnico di Milano, Italy<br>Joydeep Biswas, University of Texas at Austin, USA<br>Alessandro Farinelli, University of Verona, Italy<br>Maria Gini, University of Minneapolis, USA<br>Gal Kaminka, Bar Ilan University, Israel<br>Daniele Nardi, Sapienza Universita di Roma, Italy<br><br><div>The contact organizers are Nicola Basilico (<a href="mailto:nicola.basilico@unimi.it">nicola.basilico@unimi.it</a>) and Mohan Sridharan (<a href="mailto:m.sridharan@bham.ac.uk">m.sridharan@bham.ac.uk</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">--Mohan<br><a href="http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~sridharm/" target="_blank">http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~sridharm/</a><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
