Submission

We actively encourage young researchers, Ph.D. and Master’s students to submit poster papers presenting preliminary results, ongoing work, and demos. Please consider the following points for your submission:

• Papers should be 4–5 pages in length, following the IEEE IROS 2026 conference format, and must be submitted through the EasyChair conference management system. Submission link:

• Accepted papers will be published on the workshop website

• The presentation format (video or paper poster) will be specified to authors at a later stage.

All submissions will undergo peer review, and acceptance will be based on the quality of the contribution, originality, and relevance to the workshop’s topics of interest.

Topics of interest

• Neuro-symbolic AI for robotics: integration of learning, reasoning, and planning
