Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that the full-day workshop “CoRoboLearn:
Advancing Learning for Human-Centered Collaborative Robots” will take place
as part of the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL 2024) on November
9th in Munich,
Germany.

This workshop aims to bring together the robot learning and human-robot
interaction communities to discuss the specific challenges and
opportunities in advancing learning-based human-centered cobots. Invited
and spotlight talks, a poster session, and a panel discussion will provide
participants with an up-to-date view on open challenges and recent
advancement in the field and opportunities for interactive discussions.

We solicit the submission of papers covering recent or ongoing work and
early results on the workshop's themes, to be presented during an
interactive poster session and selected spotlight talks.

Full description, updates, and details are available on the workshop
website: https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202409091105280108459&URLID=38&ESV=10.0.28.7941&IV=1D695046116515E50DECFDACBC9EF323&TT=1725879934450&ESN=y%2FQe%2BVE2ZOE%2FUFe6a0evcpo1ek9jGH2gQGghyzv53%2FU%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly9zaXRlcy5nb29nbGUuY29tL3ZpZXcvY29yb2JvbGVhcm4&HK=A595786DEB542A004FBA8BEBD3865B4E41A5D0ACB1C5E01B7F8AFA740AB25B98

Abstract

Collaborative robots (cobots) are designed to work alongside humans in
shared environments, distinguishing them from traditional robots that
operate in isolation. The defining trait of cobots is their ability to
interact safely, efficiently, and intuitively with human partners, adapting
to dynamic and uncertain environments. Recent advancements in
learning-based systems propelled progress in enhancing such interactions,
yet the seamless integration of cobots into everyday environments remains a
significant challenge. This workshop aims to bring together leading experts
from the robot learning and human-robot interaction communities to discuss
the specific challenges and opportunities in advancing learning-based
human-centered cobots.

Workshop Topics

The workshop will focus on, but is not limited to, the following guiding
topics:

Key Challenges in Human-Centered Collaboration:

   -

   What are the primary obstacles when deploying cobots in human-centric
   environments?
   -

   What are the unique benefits and challenges of using learning-based
   approaches for human-centered collaboration?


Learning to Adapt and Improve in Real-World Situations:

   -

   How can cobots leverage information from humans and the environment to
   learn and adapt their actions in real-time?
   -

   Which approaches can ensure continual learning and adaptation in
   collaborative tasks?


Innovative Learning Methods and Intuitive Interfaces:

   -

   How can recent progress in generative AI, such as foundation models and
   LLMs, be leveraged to enhance the capabilities of cobots in human-centric
   environments?
   -

   How can we utilize new communication interfaces (e.g., wearables and
   gestures) to ease and enhance human-robot interaction?


Simulation and Real-World:

   -

   What are the pros and cons of learning from real-world data compared to
   simulated data for collaborative tasks? How to effectively model human
   behavior in simulation?
   -

   What are the potential approaches to bridge the sim-real gap for
   collaborative robotic tasks?


Submission Instructions

Papers covering ongoing work, under peer review, or published recently
(including in the CoRL 2024 main conference track), are welcome. There will
be no proceedings for this workshop.
