We warmly invite contributions on the integration of robotic avatars and embodied AI systems, with a particular focus on sense of agency, perceptual feedback, and human–robot co-adaptation. Topics of interest include methods, tools, datasets, and case studies addressing embodiment, multimodal interaction, synchronization, latency and control, and real-world deployment of human–avatar systems. Contributions should emphasize new ideas, practical insights, and experimental or applied perspectives on designing and evaluating agency in robotic systems. Beside regular papers (6-8 pages), position papers (6-8 pages) and short papers (2-4 pages) are also welcome. All the contributions to the workshop must be submitted according to the standard IEEE format as specified in the RO-MAN guidelines. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their merit, originality, and relevance. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two Program Committee members. All accepted contributions will be presented by the authors in the final poster session (free format; any poster format is acceptable).
Papers must be submitted electronically via the submission button below ↓.

Startup Spotlight

Startup and industry teams developing embodied AI, robotic avatar systems, and AI-assistive technologies are especially encouraged to present their work. Submission for startup spotlight can be in the academic accepted formats listed above, or in the form of presentation slides (max. 10 slides) via the same submission button below ↓.
Selected teams will present in a dedicated Spotlight space in their preferred format (in addition to posters or presentations we strongly encourage demo presentation), highlighting real-world deployment, integration challenges, and user experience considerations related to agency and embodiment.
