Embodied4Arts 2026
The 1st Embodied4Arts Workshop @ RSS 2026
The 1st Embodied4Arts Workshop @ RSS 2026 explores robotics at the intersection of art and creative practice, focusing on robots as partners in painting, music, dance, craft, and fabrication. It emphasizes physically grounded, expressive, and human-centered systems that go beyond narrow task benchmarks to address style, authorship, material dynamics, and subjective evaluation.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Research areas in scope
01
Painting and Drawing as Programs
Converting intent from text, image, or sketch into executable stroke programs under tool, surface, and motion constraintsStroke planning and macro-actionsVerification-aware decodingMetrics for style and efficiency
02
Embodied Music and Expressive Control
Modeling timing, dynamics, articulation, compliance, and co-performance rather than note correctness aloneExpressive performance policiesAudio-visual feedback for controlHuman-aligned performance ratings
03
Deformables and Computational Craft
Learning and planning for folding, weaving, sewing, knotting, draping, and fabrication-aware manipulationWorld models for deformable dynamicsLong-horizon structured planningReproducible craft benchmarks
Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions are non-archival
- Poster submissions are closed
- Accepted entries are invited for posters; selected entries may receive spotlight talks
- Review criteria include relevance to robotics and the arts, artistic/robotic/human-centered insight beyond leaderboard improvement, clarity, originality, feasibility, and community value
