<div>CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:</div>
<div>We welcome prospective participants to submit extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) to be presented as posters. The manuscripts should use the IEEE IROS two-column format. Please submit a PDF copy of your manuscript through our EasyChair platform before August
1. Each paper will receive a minimum of two reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance to the workshop topics, contributions, technical clarity, and presentation. Accepted papers require that at least one of the authors register
to the workshop. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to present and discuss your ongoing work and get an early feedback from the participants.</div>
