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 flavor. For IAS-19, we look for papers centered 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

On-Water/Underwater 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.

HIGHLIGHTS: 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.orgmailto: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 management of the related Call for Papers will be managed autonomously by the workshop or tutorial organisers.

STILL OPEN: Call for Special Sessions

Methods and technologies to design and develop intelligent and autonomous systems have advanced remarkably in the past few years, with the rapid development of critical and foundational approaches in robotics and artificial intelligence. Intelligent and autonomous systems are being deployed in various scenarios, such as nuclear power plants, defense, agriculture, industrial safety, aerospace, construction, and unmanned vehicles. Special sessions are the ideal venues to highlight selected topics, spark debates, and narrow down applications of intelligent and autonomous systems, especially connected to innovative emerging areas of interest related to the main conference topics.

We look for proposals for special sessions featuring emerging topics in intelligent and autonomous systems. We welcome submissions of proposals considering the conference theme, that is, "Ethical, Responsible, and Inclusive Robotics", along with scientific, methodological, and technological advances.

A special session will consist of 4 papers. Please send proposals for special sessions by email at c*****t@ias-19.orgmailto:c*****t@ias-19.org. Each proposal must include (a) the special session title, (b) the list of organizers with contact information, (c) a brief statement of purpose for the session, and (d) a list of potential contributors.

Special Sessions Chairs will review the submitted proposals. Papers addressed to approved special sessions will be provided with a session code and will undergo the same review process as regular papers. Special session organizers can be involved in the review process and in the final decisions. Also, they will be offered a gift voucher as a sign of gratitude.
