IAS-19 Preliminary Call for Papers

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the 19th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS-19, www.ias-19.org<http://www.ias-19.org/>), which will be held in Genoa, Italy, from June 30 to July 4, 2025.

Since the first edition in 1985, IAS has been a venue for original, novel, and innovative papers with a theoretical or experimental flavor. For IAS-19, we look for papers centered around the theme "Ethical, Responsible, and Inclusive Robotics".

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Mobile Robots
Collaborative Robots/Cobots
Robots for Industry 4.0
Household Robots
Humanoid Robots
Climbing Robots
Outdoor and Field Robots
Autonomous Vehicles
Healthcare Robots
Flying Robots
On-Water/Underwater Robots
Robot Swarms
Biomimetic Robots
Long-Term Autonomous Systems
Intelligent Machines
Cognitive Architectures for Robots
Human-Robot-Interaction
Software Architectures for Robots
Cloud Robotics
Robot Vision
Tactile Sensing
Intelligent Sensors and Systems
Neuromorphic Sensing
Semantic Modeling
Data Fusion and Machine Learning
Obstacle Avoidance
Localization and SLAM
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
Planning
Task-Motion Planning
Robot Foundation Models
Vision and Language Models
Robot Simulations
Mechatronics for Intelligent Systems

All contributed papers will go through a rigorous peer-review process, which will be managed by Editors, Associated Editors, and Reviewers. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. If a paper will be accepted, the authors should submit a revised final version reflecting reviewers' comments, and present their paper orally and in presence.

All accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings, and a post-proceedings book will be published by Springer, as is customary for IAS conferences. A limited number of authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for a special issue of Robotics and Autonomous Systems, published by Elsevier.

Proposals for special sessions, workshops, and tutorials are strongly encouraged. Workshops and tutorials will be scheduled on 30/6/2025.

Important dates
15/12/2024 > Deadline for proposals for workshops, and tutorials
15/1/2025 > Notification for proposals for workshops and tutorials
15/2/2025 > Deadline for papers submission
15/4/2025 > Papers acceptance notification
15/5/2025 > Papers final submission
30/6/2025 - 4/7/2025 > IAS-19 in Genoa, Italy

HIGHLIGHTS: IAS-19 Call for Special Sessions

Methods and technologies to design and develop intelligent and autonomous systems have advanced remarkably in the past few years, with the rapid development of critical and foundational approaches in robotics and artificial intelligence. Intelligent and autonomous systems are being deployed in various scenarios, such as nuclear power plants, defense, agriculture, industrial safety, aerospace, construction, and unmanned vehicles. Special sessions are the ideal venues to highlight selected topics, spark debates, and narrow down applications of intelligent and autonomous systems, especially connected to innovative emerging areas of interest related to the main conference topics.

We look for proposals for special sessions featuring emerging topics in intelligent and autonomous systems. In particular, we welcome submissions of proposals taking into account the conference theme, that is, "Ethical, Responsible, and Inclusive Robotics", along with scientific, methodological, and technological advances.

A special session will consist of 4 papers. Please send proposals for special sessions by email at contact at ias-19.org<mailto:contact at ias-19.org>.
Each proposal must include (a) the special session title, (b) the list of organizers with contact information, (c) a brief statement of purpose for the session, and (d) a list of potential contributors.

Special Sessions Chairs will review the submitted proposals. Papers addressed to approved special sessions will be provided with a session code and will undergo the same review process as regular papers. Special session organizers can be involved in the review process and in the final decisions. Also, they will be offered a gift voucher as a sign of gratitude.

Important dates
15/11/2024 > Deadline for proposals for special sessions
30/11/2024 > Notification for proposals for special sessions

IAS-19 Special Session Chairs
