Dear RoboCup 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 problem RoboCup teams confront every year in the field.

*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
