Call for Papers

About This Workshop

We invite researchers to submit papers and posters to our workshop on Uncertainty in Open-World Robotics. This workshop brings together researchers tackling uncertainty across various domains in open-world robotics, with a focus on addressing uncertainty from a practical perspective to develop methods for real-world robotic systems operating in dynamic and unstructured environments.

We welcome submissions covering a broad range of topics related to uncertainty in robotics. Your contributions will be presented as posters, with selected papers chosen for highlight talks.

Submission Deadline: April 30, 2026

Acceptance Notification: May 10, 2026

Camera Ready: May 17, 2026

Spotlight Presentation Due: May 31, 2026
