We are pleased to announce the 20th edition of the “Robotics: Science and Systems” (RSS) conference to be held at the Technical University of Delft in Delft, Netherlands, from July 15 – 19, 2024.

RSS is a single-track conference that connects researchers working on all aspects of robotics including scientific foundations, mechanisms, algorithms, applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The single-track format gives attendees an opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art research in all areas of robotics. The conference will consist of oral and poster presentations of accepted papers, demonstrations, invited talks, and panels.

The conference will preserve the RSS tradition of selecting excellent papers via a thorough and fair review process. Paper submissions will be evaluated in terms of their novelty, technical quality, significance, potential impact, and clarity.

The conference will again include the recently added category of Demo contributions, similar to conferences in related research areas, resulting in a Demo Track during the main conference.

RSS seeks high-quality research papers and demos that introduce new ideas and stimulate future trends in robotics. We invite paper and demo submissions in all areas of robotics, including:

• Assembly, Logistics and Manufacturing;
• Assistive, Entertainment and Service Robots;
• Autonomous Vehicle Navigation & Mobile Robots;
• Bioinspired Robots;
• Control & Dynamics;
• Cognitive Modeling & Knowledge Representation for Robots;
• Field Robotics (e.g., Aerial, Agricultural, Construction, Space, Underwater Robotics);
• Formal Methods for Robotics;
• Grasping & Manipulation;
• Human-Robot Interaction;
• Humanoid & Walking Robots;
• Mechanisms & Design;
• Medical Robotics;
• Multi-Robot & Networked Systems;
• Robot Learning;
• Robot Modeling & Simulation;
• Robot Perception, Sensing & Vision;
• Robot Planning;
• Robot State Estimation, Localization & Mapping;
• Soft Robots.

Regular and demo paper submissions will be due on February 2, 2024.  Full details about the submission and review timeline are available at: https://roboticsconference.org/information/cfp/
