Important dates (anywhere on earth):

Paper Submission Deadline: June 27th (updated), 2021
Acceptance Notification: June 30th, 2021
Workshop date: July 15th (final), 2021


This is a joint workshop with two themes that share common interests
and motivations.

Declarative knowledge in learning and control of robot behaviors: For
the purposes of explainability, abstraction, efficiency, or
robustness, declarative knowledge is being incorporated into the
decision-making process. We aim to explore novel ways to leverage
complementary features of the different forms of decision making in
order to inform the future research of deliberative systems relying on
declarative knowledge that can be learned from,  and shared with,
humans.

Neurosymbolic robotics for learning symbolic representations from
sub-symbolic representations: Neurosymbolic AI has emerged to
integrate successful ideas in deep learning and classical symbolic
reasoning in a single framework. Such a framework will have the
desirable perception abilities of deep networks for bottom-up
computation whilst allowing the system to make symbolic reasoning for
top-down computation.


Invited Speakers:

Masataro Asai, IBM Research
Anthony Cohn, U of Leeds
Katerina Fragkiadaki, CMU
Nick Hawes, U of Oxford
Leslie Kaelbling, MIT
George Konidaris, Brown U
Ben Kuipers, U of Michigan
Luís C. Lamb, UFRGS
Cynthia Matuszek, UMBC
Sheila McIlraith, U of Toronto


Submissions:

We accept regular papers (up to 8 pages of unpublished work) and
extended abstracts (up to 4 pages of novel work or from a recently
published paper) in standard RSS format, excluding unlimited pages for
references. The review process will be single-blind. 10 minutes will
be allocated for each regular paper, and 2 minutes for each extended
abstract. There will also be a poster presentation session through
gather.town for discussions. Papers will be submitted through
EasyChair (https://easychair.org/cfp/DNR-ROB-2021).
