[CFP] NEmo 2026 @ NeurIPS - deadline EXTENDED to 14 September (AoE)
by Emanuele Musumeci 10 Sep '26

10 Sep '26

Dear RoboCup Humanoid League community, The submission deadline for NEmo 2026: Neuro-Symbolic Embodied Intelligence, a workshop at NeurIPS 2026 (December 12, 2026, Sydney, Australia), has been extended to September 14, 2026, Anywhere on Earth. NEmo focuses on the challenges of building long-lived autonomous agents that can perceive, reason, plan, learn, and adapt over extended interactions in physical or richly simulated environments. A central theme of the workshop is the role of neuro-symbolic approaches in making such agents more reliable and capable. Topics of interest include - combining learned perception, reinforcement learning and large language models with planning and structured symbolic knowledge - grounding and shared semantics - memory over long horizons - affordances - recovery from failed assumptions The workshop brings together researchers from machine learning, knowledge representation, planning, robotics, Semantic Web, human-robot interaction, and trustworthy AI. We accept ongoing and already published works as well as new contributions. Website: https://nemo.semantic.review <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nemo.semantic.review&source=gmail&ust=…> Submit: https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2026/Workshop/NEmo <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://openreview.net/group?id%3DNeurIPS.cc/2…> Best regards, The NEmo 2026 Organizing Committee

[CFP] NEmo 2026 @ NeurIPS - long-lived embodied agents, neuro-symbolic reasoning (deadline 10 Sept)
by Emanuele Musumeci 27 Aug '26

27 Aug '26

Dear Humanoid League community, We are pleased to announce *NEmo 2026: Neuro-Symbolic Embodied Intelligence*, a workshop at *NeurIPS 2026*, taking place on *December 12, 2026 in Sydney, Australia*. NEmo is about *long-lived autonomous agents* that perceive, reason, plan, learn and adapt over extended interactions in physical or richly simulated environments. The Humanoid League confronts a version of this that most benchmarks do not: decisions taken under *real dynamics and unreliable perception*, where a wrong assumption about the world costs a fall rather than a logged error — and where the agent has to keep playing afterwards. *Topics of interest include:* - combining learned perception, reinforcement learning and large language models with planning and structured symbolic knowledge - grounding and shared semantics between teammates - memory over long horizons - affordances - recovery from failed assumptions mid-task *Contributions reporting experience from robot competitions and long-horizon deployments are explicitly welcome.* We accept ongoing and already published work as well as new contributions. *Important dates* - *Submission deadline:* September 10, 2026 - *Workshop date:* December 12, 2026 *Website:* https://nemo.semantic.review <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://nemo.semantic.review&source=gmail&ust=…> *OpenReview:* https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2026/Workshop/NEmo <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://openreview.net/group?id%3DNeurIPS.cc/2…> Best, The NEmo 2026 Organizing Committee

IFA is the "The world's largest home & consumer tech event" and will take place from September 4–8, 2026 at the Berlin exhibition grounds. IFA 2026 offered to host a RoboCup event and will provide us with a large exhibition space, furniture and other amenities. We are planning to set up a playing field roughly the size of an S-Field, with artificial turf, goals, and a team area for about 6–8 teams. We will have large screens, audio equipment and space for the team banners. The participation is free of charge for the teams. We are also planning a mini tournament with an awesome prize :) This is a great opportunity to kick off the new RoboCup season, and you are very welcome to be part of it! Fill our the short registration form to sign up for the event: https://forms.gle/Qt6zQUvyUeQxpudd9 More up to date information can be found in the wiki: https://hackmd.io/@4k7N01wRQ0OoPwCHc6tm1A/HJgySrcrMe Here are already a few key points: - All participating teams get free entry to IFA - Work on your robots and take part in the tournament - Run tests on the field - Connect with other HSL teams - Play test matches and do demos for visitors - Explore the trade fair and talk to potential sponsors - Boost your team's media presence For context: IFA is one of the biggest trade fairs for consumer electronics. In 2025, IFA had around 220,000 visitors and more than 1,900 exhibitors from 49 countries. Booster, Unitree, and other companies building humanoid robots will also be there and will probably run demos on our field as well. https://www.ifa-berlin.com/ We already set up a booth at IFA 2025 with a field and three teams, and it was a huge success. This year, we are hoping to make it even better 🙂 Here are a few impressions from last year: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robocup-germany_wir-freuen-uns-dieses-wochen… https://www.linkedin.com/posts/berlin-united-robocup_robocup-ifaberlin-acti… https://photos.app.goo.gl/EMU6ueHMy9u6V2sf9 We are looking forward to seeing you there!
