21–23 August 2024, London, UK
The 25th Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems Conference 2024 (TAROS 2024)
TAROS (Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems) is the longest-running UK-hosted international conference on robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), and includes the presentation and discussion of the latest results and methods in autonomous robotics research and applications. TAROS offers a friendly environment for robotics academics and industry professionals to take stock and plan future research. It welcomes senior researchers and research students alike and specifically provides opportunities for the latter and young research scientists to present their work to the scientific community.
The conference scope includes, but is not limited to, the following general topics:
- Autonomous robots;
- Assistive, service, and personal robotics;
- Aerial robots (unmanned and micro-air vehicles) and space and planetary robotics;
- Medical robotics, robots for surgery, and intelligent prosthetics;
- Humanoid and walking robots;
- Soft and flexible robots;
- Swarm, collective, and field robotics;
- Modular reconfigurable robots;
- Human–robot interaction;
- Multimodal interfaces;
- Navigation, localization, map building, and path planning;
- Analysis of robot–environment interactions;
- Application developments, hardware issues, devices, and techniques;
- Advanced sensors and actuators;
- Advanced materials and techniques;
- Autonomous vehicles;
- Bio-mimetic, bio-inspired, and bio-hybrid robotic systems;
- Evolutionary, cognitive, and developmental robotics;
- Robot communication and language;
- Ethical and societal issues in robotics;
- Robots in education, arts, and entertainment;
- Safety, verification, and validation for robotic applications;
- Learning and adaptation;
- Long-term interaction and operation;
- Modelling and analysis.
These list of topics is not exhaustive. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, relevant contributions from other fields will also be welcome.
