Dear colleagues,
Due to multiple requests, we are happy to grant a two-week extension of
the submission deadline for the regular paper submissions and the
workshop and tutorial proposal submission.
Full papers:March 28, 2025.
Workshop and tutorial proposals—deadline:March 28, 2025.
We would also like to draw your attention to the template which we have
updated. Please kindly use this one:
https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php
<https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php>. If you have
already submitted, you will be able to update it also during the
camera-ready submission stage.
We are also happy to announce that the BabyBot and BabyObserve Challenge
winners will receive a prize of 150$, sponsored by the IEEE RAS TC
Cognitive Robotics.
Travel grants are available through IEEE CIS - see

16–19 September 2025 in Prague; Czechia
2025 IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL)
We invite submissions to explore, extend, and consolidate the
interdisciplinary boundaries of this exciting research field. In
addition to the usual paper submission-selection process, we announce
two Challenges: the BabyBot Challenge that will award computational
models that capture core aspects of specific psychology experiments and
(new!!) BabyObserve Challenge that will foster the community’s
discoveries in research related to the development of cognition and
learning and go beyond what is currently in focus. Submissions that
address both challenges at the same time are also welcome. There is a
prize of 150$ for the winners of the challenges!
-----------------------------------

Topics
-----------------------------------
ICDL
is a unique conference gathering researchers from both computational
science (including robotics, AI, cognitive architecture) and
developmental studies (psychology, linguistics, anthropology, education,
philosophy) for a fertile exchange sharing ideas, perspectives,
knowledge, research findings on how humans and animals develop sensing,
reasoning and actions, including interactive ecologies and how these
capabilities can be implemented in computing (embodied) systems. This
approach goes hand in hand with the goal of both understanding human
and animal development and how this can be applied to improve future
intelligent technology including all kinds of artificial systems that
will be in close interaction with humans.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
– general principles and theories of development and learning;
– embodied learning in biological systems and robots;
– development of skills in biological systems and robots;
– developmental stages and sensitive periods;
– architectures for cognitive development and life-long learning;
– emergence of body knowledge and affordance perception;
– learning control of body movement;
– (models of) curiosity, intrinsic motivations, exploration, play and
active learning;
– (models for) prediction, planning and problem solving;
– developmentally-inspired machine learning;
– applications of machine learning to human and animal development;
– emotional development and the role of emotion in learning;
– emergence of verbal and nonverbal communication;
– metacognitive skills and the role of metacognitive learning and
explicit communication;
– (models of) human–human and human–system interaction;
– epistemological foundations and philosophical issues;
– the relationship between evolution and development;
– ethics in modeling learning and development.
-----------------------------------
Submission
-----------------------------------
We accept four types of research submissions.
The submissions are available through the PaperPlaza
(https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl
<https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl>) system.
Detailed instructions are at https://icdl2025.fel.cvut.cz/submission/
<https://icdl2025.fel.cvut.cz/submission/>.
Full 6-page paper submissions (up to 2 extra pages with additional
charge)—deadline:March 28, 2025.
Papers of up to 6 pages in IEEE double column format will undergo
peer-review, and accepted and presented submissions will be included in
the conference proceedings published by IEEE Xplore. Up to two extra
pages are acceptable for a publication fee of $100 per page. Accepted
papers will be invited for presentation either in oral or poster format
Please make use of the template provided at
https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php
<https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php>
Workshop and tutorial proposals—deadline:March 28, 2025.
Workshops proposals can be submitted for one-day or half-day-workshop
that will take place on the first day of the conference. The proposals
should motivate the topic and provide a schedule.
Journal-track posters—deadline:April 1, 2025.
Journal track poster submissions must be about a journal paper that has
been published the March 2024 – March 2025 period (online ahead of print
is fine) on a topic relevant to the conference.
Late-breaking posters with 1-page abstract—deadline: June 13, 2025.
To encourage discussion of late-breaking results or for work that is
not sufficiently mature for a full paper, we will accept 1-page
abstracts. These submissions will not be included in the conference
proceedings. Accepted abstracts will be presented during the poster
session.
-----------------------------------
BabyBot Challenge Paper Award
-----------------------------------
Babybot Challenge papers are expected to establish a strong link
between developmental psychology and robotics and/or computational
modeling. Submissions will be judged by the following criteria:
– How well does the computational model (e.g., an artificial system,
which can be a robot, artificial system, or a software agent) represent
the particular features of the experimental research addressed.
– How closely the performance of the model replicates the experimental
findings and how parsimonious is the model.
– How explicit the model is about cognitive mechanisms and the
– The extent of the novel insights or explanations generated by the
model, and importantly whether the model make interesting and testable
predictions.
We encourage the authors to tag their submission for “Babybot
Challenge” award during contributed paper submission, which would
indicate that there is significant content that puts the paper in the
spotlight of “Babybot Challenge”.
Prize for winner: 150 $.
-----------------------------------
BabyObserve Challenge Paper Award
-----------------------------------
This Challenge is new, and its intention is to foster the community’s
discoveries in research related to the development of cognition and
learning that go beyond what is currently in focus.
BabyObserve Challenge papers are expected to introduce novel or “edge
case” phenomena to the ICDL community from observations of child
development, but also related mechanisms, interplays of skills,
properties of (environmental and / or social) ecologies that promote it.
Observations can result in quantitative or qualitative research that is
further described in the paper.
Submissions will be judged by the following criteria:
– How innovative is the phenomenon and why it is important for the ICDL
community
– How well is the phenomenon described to inspire computational models
– How well is the phenomenon theoretically grounded or linked to the
existing literature
We encourage the authors to tag their submission for “BabyObserve
Challenge” award during contributed paper submission, which would
indicate that there is significant content that puts the paper in the
spotlight of “BabyObserve Challenge”.
Prize for winner: 150 $.
