Call for Workshops

The Organizing Committee for the 2023 Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL 2023) requests proposals for full and half-day workshops. Workshop proposals should be submitted by June 22nd, 2023 through CoRL 2023 Workshop Submission Template

The goal of the workshops is to provide an avenue for discussing topics and ideas at the forefront of robot learning research. The workshops will take place on the first day of the conference on November 6.

The CoRL conference is planned to be an in-person event in Atlanta and we expect the workshops will also be held in-person/hybrid. 

We will select workshops based on their research and educational value, interest, and relevance. Specifically, we welcome and will give priority to:

  • Proposals with confirmed, high-quality, and diverse set of invited speakers. Specifically, we encourage organizers to consider, among others, diversity of presenters in terms of seniority, gender, race, ethnicity, geographic location, industry/government/academia, and research perspectives. 

    • Please limit the number of “confirmed” speakers to four. The proposal can still list “expected” speakers based on the schedule.

  • Workshops that have the potential to lead to new research ideas and directions.

  • Workshops that encourage reflection and guiding long-term visions.

  • Workshops focused on negative results and open problems.

  • Workshops that are timely and unique in comparison to recent or upcoming workshops at other robotics and machine learning conferences. Note that the committee may recommend that workshop organizers merge their workshop with another one that has a similar topic.

  • Event structures that will encourage discussion and interaction among the participants (e.g. shared talks between senior and junior researchers, debates, panels, discussion sessions, small working groups)

Submission:

We expect proposals of approximately 2-3 pages (maximum of 5 pages). Please contact the workshop chair (Sehoon Ha; sehoonha@gatech.edu include [CoRL23 Workshops] in the topic line) with any questions. The template for the workshop can be found here:
