Call for Papers

We are excited to invite submissions to the 12th European Conference on Mobile Robots (ECMR 2025). Following a successful journey from Radziejowice to Ancona, Freiburg, Mlini/Dubrovnik, Örebro, Barcelona, Lincoln, Paris, Prague, Bonn, and Coimbra, the next edition will be held in Padova. This time, we will focus on the cognitive capabilities of today's and tomorrow's mobile robots, emphasizing cognition, perception, interaction, and AI-enhanced autonomy. We welcome contributions across all areas of mobile robotics, particularly those that push the boundaries of autonomous systems and cognitive mobile robotics. The conference will follow a single-track format, ensuring visibility for all accepted papers, with a peer review process that emphasizes novelty, technical quality, significance, potential impact, and clarity. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of accepted papers. The three-day main conference will be preceded by a workshops and tutorials day.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Mobile robot design: Wheeled and Legged Systems, Biomimetic Robotics, UAVs, USVs, UUVs, Sensors, Actuators, and Reconfigurable Robots
Perception and Cognition: Environment Perception, Semantic Mapping, Cognitive Architectures, Active and Interactive Perception, Scene Understanding, and Memory-based Approaches
Learning: Cognitive and Reinforcement Learning Systems, Imitation Learning, Learning-based Control, Adapting to Dynamic Environments, and Sim2Real
Cognitive Interaction: Human-Robot Teaming, Natural Language Interaction, Autonomous Decision-Making, Shared Autonomy, Safe Interaction, and Human-AI Collaboration
Planning and Control: Cognitive Planning, Exploration, Resilient Navigation Behaviors, Adaptive and Robust Control, and Learning-based Planning
Distributed Systems: Multi-Robot Systems, Networked Robots, Swarms, Coordination, Task and Resource Allocation
Applications: Cognitive Service Robots, Social Robotics, Industrial and Field Robots, Healthcare Robotics, and Intelligent Surveillance

It is planned that accepted papers, whether presented orally or as posters, will be included in IEEE Xplore. A special issue of the Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal will be organized, where selected papers from ECMR 2025 will be invited for submission after the conference.

Please submit all papers, video attachments, workshop, and tutorial proposals through EasyChair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecmr2025>.

We look forward to your contributions and to welcoming you to Padova for ECMR 2025, as we collectively explore the future of cognitive mobile robotics.
