CogRob 2025
The International Cognitive Robotics Workshop
Held as part of KR 2025
November 11, 12, or 13, 2025
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
This workshop aims to bring together researchers involved in all aspects of the theory and implementation of cognitive robots, to discuss current work and future directions. The workshop is concerned with foundational research questions on cognitive robotics, as well as robotic system design and robotic applications that utilize AI and related methods.
Submission deadline: August 4, 2025
Notification of acceptance: August 25, 2025
Submission of camera ready paper: TBC
We invite submissions of research papers from all researchers and practitioners interested in AI, machine learning, multi-agent systems and robotics, and their integration. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
AI for robotics
Cognitive robotics
Cognitive science
Cognitive vision
Combination of logical and probabilistic reasoning
Commonsense reasoning
Cooperative decision-making
Diagnostic reasoning
Execution monitoring
Human-robot interaction
Knowledge representation and reasoning
Machine learning
Motion planning
Natural language understanding
Perception
Planning
Reasoning under uncertainty
Scheduling
Spatio-temporal reasoning
Speech recognition
Symbol grounding
System architectures
We especially welcome discussions and demonstrations of robotic applications and implemented robotic systems that utilize AI and related methods.
Potential participants are invited to submit either:
A full length paper (up to 6 pages, excluding references), i.e., a technical paper for describing technically sound, innovative ideas that can advance the state of cognitive robotics; an application paper, where the emphasis is on its impact on the robotic application domain; a system/tool paper, where the emphasis is on its novelty, practicality, usability and availability, or
A short paper (up to 2 pages, excluding references), i.e., a position paper describing specific questions and issues that the participants feel should be addressed; a demo paper describing a demonstration of a robotic application, system or tool; a technical communication aimed at describing recent developments, and new projects that are not ready for publication as regular papers.
All papers will be presented during the workshop and will appear in the workshop proceedings, which will be published electronically.
Papers accepted at the main conference (technical sessions) should not be submitted to the workshop unless they are substantially extended or revised; in that case the submission should state how the final version will differ from the original paper.
Workshop contributions should be submitted by the due date via EasyChair at: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=cogrob2025.
Submissions must be written in English and formatted using the KR style files. Author names and affiliations should be included on the paper. Only submissions in PDF will be accepted. Over length submissions will be rejected without review.
Questions about the CogRob 2025 workshop should be directed to Ron Petrick or one of the other workshop organizers.
