The central theme of the conference is “Intelligent and Autonomous Robotics for Manipulation in the Era of Edge AI and Embedded Intelligence.” As robots are moving from controlled environments into our daily lives, the ability to perform complex manipulation tasks in unstructured and dynamic environments has become a key challenge and opportunity. This conference aims to gather researchers and practitioners to explore how cutting-edge AI, embedded systems, and edge computing can empower robots to sense, plan, and act with dexterity and intelligence.

Core Themes:

• Intelligent manipulation and grasping in service and industrial robots
• AI-driven control and decision-making for robotic manipulation
• Edge AI for real-time perception and motion planning
• Sensor fusion and tactile sensing for manipulation tasks
• Hardware design and actuator technologies for dexterous robots
• Safety, reliability, and robustness in manipulation robots

Highlighted Robot Applications:

• Surgical Robots: Precision manipulation in minimally invasive surgery
• Humanoid Robots: Dexterous hands and whole-body manipulation in human environments
• Haircutting Robots: Smart grooming with real-time perception and edge intelligence
• Legged Robots: Balancing and manipulation while navigating uneven terrain
• Cleaning Robots: Autonomous and adaptive manipulation for household chores
• Manufacturing Robots: Collaborative robots (cobots) for assembly and material handling
• Agricultural Robots: Delicate handling of crops and agricultural produce

Broader Topics:

• Learning-based manipulation: imitation, reinforcement, and self-supervised methods
• Robotic manipulation in cluttered and uncertain environments
• Human-robot collaboration in manipulation tasks
• Vision and tactile feedback integration for adaptive grasping
• Embedded AI architectures for manipulation robots (low-power and real-time)
• Digital twins and simulation environments for training manipulation policies
• Benchmarking and evaluation metrics for manipulation performance

We welcome both fundamental research and practical applications that push the boundaries of what robots can manipulate and how they can interact safely and effectively with the physical world.

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library: Rosenet conference proceedings.

Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, such as Web of Science, Compendex, Scopus, DBLP, EU Digital Library, Google Scholar, IO-Port, MathSciNet, Inspec, and Zentralblatt MATH.

EAI is an open community dedicated to creating an environment where every member receives the same opportunities, benefits and opportunities to develop and grow their research mission and career. As the largest free professional research society in the world EAI offers a complete range of conference proceedings publication opportunities. Based on the qualification of the conference and the conference scope EAI provides the possibility to publish the proceedings for every sponsored conference. Consistent with its mission to support developing communities all EAI sponsored conferences appear in EUDL, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL). EUDL is Open Access and free for EAI members reaching a community of 250,000 subscribers and providing the visibility that allows the conference organizers to develop the conference into a fully fledged indexed proceedings publication in subsequent years.

4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions.

• All papers must be submitted in English. 
• Previously published work cannot be submitted, nor can it be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. These papers will be rejected without review. 
• Papers must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (available in the Author’s Kit section). 
• Authors must read and agree to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.
• As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images should have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text)

HOW TO WRITE GOOD ALT TEXT

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section).

• Regular papers should be up to 12-15+ pages in length.
• Short papers should be 6-11 pages in length.

All conference papers undergo a thorough peer review process prior to the final decision and publication. This process is facilitated by experts in the Technical Program Committee during a dedicated conference period. Standard peer review is enhanced by EAI Community Review which allows EAI members to bid to review specific papers. All review assignments are ultimately decided by the responsible Technical Program Committee Members while the Technical Program Committee Chair is responsible for the final acceptance selection. You can learn more about Community Review here.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.
