We hope that this message finds you healthy and that you and your
families are safe and well during these difficult times!

Since many countries are still under heavy pressure from COVID-19
together with the fact the Southern Hemisphere is just entering winter,
we have decided to reschedule the conference to the 28th to the 30th of
October. The conference will be hybrid, hosting both onsite and online
participants. Online participants will have a reduced fee.

We have also extended the submission deadline, and already submitted
papers can be modified.

==== Overview ====
The IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL),
previously referred to as ICDL-EpiRob, is the premier gathering of
professionals dedicated to the advancement of cognitive and
developmental learning. As such, ICDL is a unique conference gathering
researchers from computer science, robotics, psychology and
developmental studies.

ICDL is a highly selective annual international conference that aims to
showcase and share the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
research on how humans and animals develop sensing, reasoning and actions.

ICDL community focusses on the understanding of how biological agents
take advantage of interaction with social and physical environments to
develop their cognitive capabilities. Moreover, how this knowledge can
be used to improve future computing and robotic systems.

We invite submissions for the conference to explore, extend, and
consolidate the interdisciplinary boundaries of this exciting research
field.

==== Scope and Topics ====
The primary list of topics of interest includes, but not limited to:
– principles and theories of development and learning;
– development of skills in biological systems and robots;
– nature vs nurture, developmental stages;
– models on the contributions of interaction to learning;
– verbal, non-verbal and multi-modal interaction;
– models on active learning;
– architectures for lifelong learning;
– emergence of body and affordance perception;
– analysis and modelling of human motion and state;
– models for prediction, planning and problem solving;
– models of human-human and human-robot interaction;
– emergence of verbal and non-verbal communication;
– epistemological foundations and philosophical issues;
– robot prototyping of human and animal skills;
– ethics and trust in computational intelligence and robotics;
– social learning in humans, animals, and robots.

==== Submissions ====
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers of six
pages with the possibility of two-extra pages at a fee. Submissions are
in the IEEE conference template. Submission will be selected for either
oral or poster presentation based on the reviews. Accepted and presented
regular six-page paper submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings published by IEEE Xplore after the conference.
