<span class=titlesec>About</span>
<br>
<span>
Semantic understanding of the world is essential for robots to make safe and informed decisions,
adapt to changing environmental conditions, and interact effectively with other agents. In
pursuit of semantic understanding, agents must be able to (i) interpret and represent high-level
goals, agnostic of their physical embodiment and robust to distracting aspects of their
environments; they must be able to (ii) reason, i.e., to extract abstract concepts from
observations in the real-world, logically manipulate these concepts, and leverage the results
for inference on downstream tasks; and they must be able to (iii) ground their own behavior on
situation-appropriate actions, thus reconciling the abstract goals with what is physically
feasible.
</br>
</br>
This workshop aims to foster discussion on how semantic mechanisms enable more robust,
generalizable robot intelligence. SemRob 2026 will be held at RSS in Australia; we look forward
to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to a vibrant discussion on semantic reasoning
and goal understanding in robotics.

<h5 style="font-weight: bold"> Targeted Topics </h5>
In addition to the <a target="_blank" href="https://roboticsconference.org/information/cfp/">RSS
subject areas</a>, we especially invite paper submissions on various topics, including (but not
limited to):
<br><br>
<ul>
<li>Hybrid architectures that integrate learned representations with symbolic representations
(e.g., scene graphs) or procedural reasoning strategies</li>
<li>Semantic representations for generalizable policy learning (e.g., skill learning, action
tokenization, learning with constraints)</li>
<li>Neural and external memory mechanisms for storing and retrieving experience</li>
<li>Meta-cognitive processes (chain-of-thought reasoning, self-critiquing, uncertainty
monitoring/calibration, agentic reasoning structures, etc.)</li>
<li>World dynamics models for synthetic data generation, policy training, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h5 style="font-weight: bold"> Submission Guidelines </h5>
RSS SemRob 2026 suggests <b>4+N or 8+N paper length</b> formats — i.e., 4 or 8 pages of main content
with unlimited additional pages for references, appendices, etc. However, like RSS 2026, we impose
no strict page length requirements on submissions; we trust that authors will recognize that
respecting reviewers’ time is helpful to the evaluation of their work.<br><br>
Submissions are handled through OpenReview: <a
href="https://openreview.net/group?id=roboticsfoundation.org/RSS/2026/Workshop/SemRob"
target="_blank">https://openreview.net/group?id=roboticsfoundation.org/RSS/2026/Workshop/SemRob</a>.
<br><br>
We will accept the official <a target="_blank"
href="https://roboticsconference.org/docs/paper-template-latex.tar.gz">LaTeX</a> or <a
target="_blank" href="https://roboticsconference.org/docs/paper-template-word.zip">Word</a>
paper templates, provided by RSS 2026. <b>Authors should upload their submission as a PDF file to
OpenReview.</b>
<br><br>
Our review process will be <b>double-blind</b>, following the RSS paper submission policy for
Science/Systems papers.
<br><br>
All accepted papers will be invited for poster presentations; the highest-rated papers, according to
the Technical Program Committee, will be given spotlight presentations. Accepted papers will be made
available online on this workshop website as <b>non-archival</b> reports, allowing authors to also
submit their works to future conferences or journals. We will highlight the Best Paper Award during
the closing remarks at the workshop event.<br><br>
