Toward Human-Level Robotic Teammates

1790856000000Pittsburgh, PAOfficial conference site Link status unverified

OntoAgenticAI26 is a half-day workshop co-located with IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, focused on advancing cognitive robotics through neurosymbolic integration, human-robot teaming, and embodied agency. It brings together researchers to assess the state of the art and co-create a roadmap for developing trustworthy, explainable, and socially aware robotic teammates using symbolic AI, knowledge representation, and neural learning.

Paper fit

Contribution paths

A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.

Poster

Submissions may describe original research, work-in-progress, position papers, late-breaking results, or demonstrations relevant to the workshop themes. Must include a PDF poster (A0 portrait) and, for virtual submissions, a one-minute narration video.

Full Paper (for special issue)

Authors of selected posters are invited to submit full papers to a special issue of the International Journal of Humanoid Robotics, subject to the journal's peer-review process.
