Robots are agents, too. Indeed, agents researchers often use robotics problems as motivating examples. Both practical and analytical techniques developed by agents researchers influence, and are influenced by, research in autonomous robots and multi-robot systems. Despite the overlap between the agents and robotics research areas, researchers from these communities only have a few opportunities to meet and interact. The Robotics and Control Area of Interest in the main AAMAS conference (formerly, the "Robotics Track") is one such opportunity. The goal of this workshop is to build on this opportunity, offering an informal and dedicated forum where agents and robotics researchers can interact, discuss promising research directions and open problems, and foster further collaborations.
Contributions are sought in all areas of robotics, in particular as related to autonomous agents research. Theoretical papers are welcome, as long as they clearly specify the connection to challenges in robotics. Empirical studies should ideally present experiments with real robots, though studies in simulation are also acceptable. Papers that focus on mechanical aspects and low-level control should make an effort to relate this work to the agents community. Areas of particular interest include (but are not limited to):
We particularly welcome papers with accompanying demos of real robots, which can come as recorded videos (please use YouTube or general-purpose repositories to share the video if it is ready at the submission time) or as live demos during the workshop.
As part of our coordination with the main AAMAS conference, we offer a fast-track review process to robotic papers that were initially submitted as full papers but have been accepted as extended abstracts ("short papers") to the main AAMAS conference. While extended abstracts are typically presented as posters at AAMAS, authors who submit their original full version to ARMS fast-track will have the opportunity to give a full oral presentation of their work at the workshop. Authors should submit their original full version of the paper. Please include the original AAMAS paper number with your submission.
ARMS is a non-archival workshop that accepts both original contributions and papers that have been published elsewhere. Since there are no formal proceedings, presenting original work here usually does not preclude future publication. However, authors must verify the specific prior-publication policies of any journal or conference they intend to target.
The submissions should follow AAMAS 2026 format. You can check the instructions here or directly download the LaTeX style file .
The detailed workshop program will be published after the notification deadline.
