Robots that can work a full shift alongside people.
IROS brings together the international robotics research community. Our full-day workshop uses that forum to focus on a practical question: how can robots remain useful, safe, and coordinated with humans across real workplace shifts? The program will include a keynote speaker program, a panel discussion, a call for papers, a poster session, junior researcher participation, and awards that recognize strong workshop contributions.
- Keynote speakersInvited keynote talks from leading researchers and practitioners working on long-horizon autonomy, embodied AI, and deployment.
- Panel discussionA moderated discussion on what full-shift robot co-workers need before they can reliably operate around people.
- Call for papersWorkshop papers, short papers, posters, demos, and deployment reports on full-shift robot co-workers.
