IAS-19 Call for Papers
We are all invited to contribute to the 19th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS-19), which will be held in Genoa, Italy, from June 30 to July 4, 2025.
Since the first edition in 1985, IAS has been a venue for original, novel, and innovative papers with a theoretical or experimental flavour. For IAS-19, we look for papers cantered around the theme "Ethical, Responsible, and Inclusive Robotics".
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Mobile Robots Collaborative Robots/Cobots Robots for Industry 4.0 Household Robots Humanoid Robots Climbing Robots Outdoor and Field Robots Autonomous Vehicles Healthcare Robots Flying Robots Marine Robots Robot Swarms Biomimetic Robots Long-Term Autonomous Systems Intelligent Machines Cognitive Architectures for Robots Human-Robot-Interaction Software Architectures for Robots Cloud Robotics Robot Vision Tactile Sensing Intelligent Sensors and Systems Neuromorphic Sensing Semantic Modelling Data Fusion and Machine Learning Obstacle Avoidance Localization and SLAM Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Planning Task-Motion Planning Robot Foundation Models Vision and Language Models Robot Simulations Mechatronics for Intelligent Systems
All contributed papers will go through a rigorous peer-review process, which will be managed by Editors, Associated Editors, and Reviewers. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. If a paper will be accepted, the authors should submit a revised final version reflecting reviewers' comments and present their paper orally and in presence.
All accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings, and a post-proceedings book will be published by Springer, as is customary for IAS conferences. A limited number of authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for a special issue of Robotics and Autonomous Systems, published by Elsevier.
Proposals for special sessions, workshops, and tutorials are strongly encouraged. Workshops and tutorials will be scheduled on 30/6/2025.

STILL OPEN: Call for Workshops and tutorials
We look for proposals for workshops and tutorials on a broad set of topics in intelligent and autonomous systems.
A workshop or tutorial can be half or full day. Please send proposals for workshops or tutorials by email at c*****t@ias-19.org. Each proposal must include (a) the workshop or tutorial title, (b) the list of organizers with contact information, (c) a brief statement of purpose for the workshop or tutorial, and (d) a list of potential contributors.
Workshops and tutorials chairs will review the submitted proposals. The specific Calls for Papers will be managed autonomously by the workshop or tutorial organisers.

OPENING SOON: Call for sponsors and exhibitors
We will soon open a call for sponsors and exhibitors. We are working toward nicely blending the usual scientific tracks of IAS with pitch sessions and events oriented towards innovation and the industry.
IAS-19 will feature a dedicated crash course on entrepreneurship, student challenges in which companies may be directly involved, plenary pitch sessions, and an industry forum.
More on this in the next call!
