IIG-Workshop 2026
The Workshop and Competition on Intelligent Information Gathering for Single and Multi-Robot Systems
The IIG Workshop 2026, held in conjunction with IROS, focuses on Intelligent Information Gathering for single and multi-robot systems, combining invited talks from academia and industry with a poster session for submitted papers and an open-source simulation competition. The event emphasizes research in active perception, exploration planning, and decision-making under uncertainty, with a particular focus on indoor exploration and coordinated robot behavior under communication constraints.

Policies worth checking twice
- Papers must be 3-8 pages in length including all appendices.
- Papers must be submitted in English as PDF files using the conference template (LaTeX or Word).
- The review process is single-blind; author names do not need to be redacted.
- Late-breaking results submissions are accepted with very limited time for rebuttal/comments.
- Competition submissions must implement a Policy class with a required decide() function and optional should_relay() and decide_relay_handoff() functions.
- Competition participants may enter one or both tracks (single-robot and multi-robot) and may submit one method for both tracks or separate methods.
- Unreachable goals in competition submissions result in Immediate InvalidGoalError and halt the run.
