Call for Papers
We are sourcing two different types of papers: four-page papers and one-page abstracts, focusing on robot world models. Specific topics of interest include:
- How should actions and embodiment be represented in world models?
- Why do world models fail over long imagined horizons?
- How should perception, language, and control be integrated?
- What abstractions or hierarchies are needed for long-horizon planning?
- When does learning or planning inside a world model work in practice?
- How can world models generalize across tasks, environments, and robots?
- How should world models be evaluated beyond prediction accuracy?
- How can uncertainty in imagined rollouts be detected before deployment?
Submission Policy:
- We encourage two types of submissions:
- Novel Papers: 4-page submissions presenting new perspectives or experimental results. Should contain up to 4 pages of main paper plus any number of pages for references and supplementary material.
- Abstracts from previously published work: One-page abstracts summarizing work that has already been published or accepted at other venues. The abstract should highlight the main contributions and explain the relevance to the workshop topic. Please also include a link to the online proceedings page for the original publication.
- We ask authors to use the supplementary material only for minor details that do not fit in the main paper. We reserve the right to desk reject papers that strongly violate this format (e.g., more than 4 pages of main content before references)
- 4-page submissions should be fully anonymized for double-blind review.
- Accepted submissions will appear on the workshop website (non-archival).
