Robotics: Science and Systems Workshop
Friday, July 14 2023
This workshop seeks to progress research in the topic of real-world manipulation and mobile manipulation, that is manipulators operating in environments which may be outdoors, naturally occurring, and unstructured. These real-world environments have unique characteristics making them non-trivial and difficult for robot operation compared to typical laboratory environments. Challenges include travelling over uneven and unpredictable terrain, working with deformable and non-rigid structures such as trees and other natural phenomena, and operating with high uncertainty due to environmental conditions.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse sub-communities within robotics including manipulation, mobile manipulation, field robotics, legged robotics, robot learning, SLAM, and robotic vision to discuss the following topics:
We invite paper submissions for the workshop around the topics listed above. Accepted papers will all be presented in the poster session and selected papers will be presented as spotlight talks. Submitted papers may be in the form of an extended abstract (approximately 2 pages) or preliminary results/ongoing projects/works under review (approximately 4 pages). We will also accept video only submissions of robot demos and works in progress. There is no limit on references or supplementary material. Submissions should follow the RSS 2023 paper format (see here). Note that anonymous submissions are not required.
Submission Deadline: 11:59pm (AoE), Extended to June 15th, 2023
Acceptance Notification: From June 15th to June 18th, 2023
Camera Ready Submission: June 23rd, 2023
Workshop Date: July 14th, 2023
Submission Link: cmt3.research.microsoft.com/RWM2023
Accepted submissions will be hosted and shared via the workshop website. Authors are also encouraged to upload their papers to arXiv.org.

The workshop will be hybrid, with a in-person participation preferred, but a virtual option for remote attendees will be available. Questions will be collected from both in person and online attendees. Speakers will be given the option to present in person or remotely. A Zoom link for remote attendees will be added at a later date.
