Dear Standard Platform 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.
With identical hardware across teams, the SPL isolates exactly the questions this workshop is about: how a *shared world model* is built and kept consistent between teammates, what is represented symbolically versus learned, and how a team recovers when its belief about the field turns out to be wrong.
*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
