We are excited to announce the RoboARCH: Robotics Acceleration with Computing Hardware and Systems workshop at ICRA 2025!

This workshop is designed to build a welcoming community and ignite innovation and collaboration at the exciting intersection of robotics, computer software, systems, and architecture. It will focus on the development and enablement of advanced robotic systems through cutting-edge computational solutions for the benefit of all. Featuring talks from both leading academics and industry professionals (e.g., Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab). You can find lots of information on our workshop website https://sites.google.com/view/roboarch-icra25!

Submission Guidelines and Deadlines

We welcome submission of 2 page extended abstracts on any topic related to accelerating robotics applications (e.g., computer vision, mapping, localization, motion planning, control, and end-to-end learning, for all robotics systems) using advanced software engineering techniques, nontraditional computing hardware (e.g., GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs), as well as real-time, distributed, cloud, and edge computing systems that might be leveraged by robotics platforms. We also welcome bold unconventional ideas that can propel this interdisciplinary research areas forward and especially encourage early work, and work-in-progress.

Accepted authors will be invited to present a 3-minute single-slide lightning talk during the main program and a poster at the poster sessions. While there will be no formally published proceedings, we plan to summarize the results of the workshop in a public white paper report and will invite all poster authors to be a part of the report!
