[CFP] [meetings] AAAI 2024 Fall Symposium on “Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development” (UR-RAD)
by DAVID PORFIRIO 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

** Apologies for cross-posting ** Dear colleagues, We invite you to submit a paper to the 2nd AAAI Fall Symposium on Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development (UR-RAD). The symposium will take place on November 7-9, 2024, in Arlington, VA, USA. Accepted papers will be presented in person only (though participants who are not presenting may attend remotely). ============= Key Information ============= Behind any robot task or interaction is a representation that should (a) enable sufficient contextualization; (b) support any existing predefined, learned, and/or reusable skills onboard the robot; (c) be verifiable and behave consistently; and (d) can be tested, executed, and modified for reuse on a variety of different robot morphologies. Capturing a desired task or interaction as a computational artifact (i.e., a representation) has long played a pivotal role in robotics. Many robotic subfields have traditionally employed a variety of different representational techniques, such as LTL, planning languages, social representations, natural language, and many more. The problem is that there is a lack of cohesion in when and how these representations are applied. The 2nd symposium on Unifying Representations for Robot Application Development (UR-RAD) thereby aims to increase representational cohesion between AI and robotics researchers, identify representational trends in robotics and opportunities for adopting new representations, foster cross-institutional collaborations, and make an impact beyond the symposium. Symposium Website: https://sites.google.com/view/aaai-ur-rad-symposium/home AAAI Fall Symposium Series Website: https://aaai.org/conference/fall-symposia/fss24/ ========================= Submission Topics of Interest ========================= - Representational trends - Natural language as a representation - Novel representations & novel representation uses - AI planning for robotics - Formal methods in robotics - Representations for robot learning - Representations for user interfaces - Robot end-user development - Robot programming interfaces & paradigms - Robot runtime/control environments - Opportunities for standardization - Frameworks (e.g., ROS or middleware) - Open-source & collaboration initiatives - Identifying representation requirements ============= Important Dates ============= Submission deadline: August 2nd Decision Notification: August 16th Camera Ready Deadline: August 30th (this is a hard deadline for authors who wish to be included in the AAAI proceedings) ==================== Submission Information ==================== We invite the following contributions, formatted using the AAAI-24 author kit<https://aaai.org/authorkit24-2/>: * Research Papers (4-6 pages excluding references): describes work related to the topics above. * Position Papers (2-4 pages excluding references): discusses topics outlined above. * Artifact Papers (2-4 pages excluding references): describes artifacts (e.g., software tools or libraries) related to the topics above. Papers submitted by the above dates can be included in the AAAI Proceedings. (optional) If you intend to submit a paper, please email us at urrad.symposium(a)gmail.com<mailto:urrad.symposium@gmail.com>. Use the subject line, “[UR-RAD] Intent to Submit”, and include the following in the body of the message: (1) a tentative title, (2) a tentative author list, and (3) tentative keywords. This step is optional, but will aid in our planning for reviewers. Note that at least one author from each paper will be expected to review 2-3 UR-RAD papers themselves. =================== Organizing Committee =================== David Porfirio (Chair, Naval Research Laboratory) Saad Elbeleidy (Peerbots) Ruchen Wen (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) Laura M. Hiatt (Naval Research Laboratory) Mark Roberts (Naval Research Laboratory) Willie Wilson (Franklin & Marshall College) Ross Mead (Semio) Laura Stegner (University of Wisconsin–Madison) Contact urrad.symposium(a)gmail.com<mailto:urrad.symposium@gmail.com> for any questions!

However, designing these robots can be complex as it involves considering a wide range of factors (e.g., individual needs, physical environment, technology capabilities, digital literacy), stakeholders (e.g., care recipients, formal and informal caregivers, technology developers), and contexts (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient care facilities, private homes). The challenges are in gaining design insights for this unique use case and translating this knowledge into actionable, generalizable guidelines for other designers. This one-day workshop seeks to bring together researchers with diverse expertise and experience across academia, healthcare, and industry, spanning perspectives from multiple disciplines, including design, robotics, and human-computer interaction, with the primary goal being a consensus on best practices for generating and operationalizing design knowledge for robotic systems for care settings. The workshop structure will include keynote speakers, author presentations, a panel, and small/large group discussions. Our primary goal is to encourage interaction and discussion among interdisciplinary researchers. With our panel, we aim to capitalize on Denmark's many initiatives for robots in healthcare to bring a variety of experts from the industry to help enrich and guide our discussions and takeaways. The workshop will be in-person only, held at DIS’24 in Copenhagen, Denmark. — TARGET AUDIENCE: Our workshop welcomes participants from various sectors, with a primary focus on: * Core research community members surrounding robotic systems for care settings. * Members of related fields, e.g., the broader accessibility and aging research communities. * Members from the industry seeking to deploy/market robotic systems for care. * Researchers or community members who may have an active personal interest in the topic. — THEMES: Participation in our workshop is open to all, and while submissions are not required, they are highly encouraged. We invite contributions in the following areas: Design Outcomes: We invite contributions that scrutinize the multifaceted design aspects of robotic care systems. Discussions should revolve around the efficacy of various design outcomes, exploring the potential to standardize these for broader applicability. Submissions may address questions such as: What constitutes a meaningful outcome of a design study? How can we extend these findings to benefit the wider research and design community? Stakeholder Involvement: Care assistance is a collective effort, engaging numerous participants from care recipients to caregivers and beyond. We seek insights into effective stakeholder integration within the design process. Queries might include: How do we strategically involve stakeholders? What are the advantages of multi-stakeholder vs. single-stakeholder sessions in the design process? Design Methodologies: This theme encourages a critical examination of the methodologies employed in designing robotic care systems. We welcome debates on the merits and drawbacks of various approaches, such as surveys, participatory design, and lab studies. Contributions should consider: Which methodologies are suited for which contexts? How can we address common critiques of these methods? Reflections on Design Experiences: The practical experiences of researchers offer invaluable lessons. This theme is dedicated to sharing those lessons that fall outside the conventional academic narrative but are crucial for informing future design studies. We invite reflections on: What strategies have proven successful? Which aspects of the design process could be improved? — SUBMISSIONS: Authors are invited to submit short papers of 2-4 pages describing extended abstracts, work in progress, preliminary findings, position papers, methodology papers, blue skies papers, etc. related to any of the topics above. Submissions should be made using the ACM template<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>; Overleaf provides an appropriate template<https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary…> that may be used.
