WHAT TO CONTRIBUTE
From promising methods
to lessons from the field.
The call welcomes research and practical experience that help small teams deploy, operate and recover underwater vehicle-manipulator systems with minimal infrastructure.
We welcome researchers, technology providers, integrators and application users. Contributions can address:
Methods & hardware
Perception, planning, contact-aware control, shared autonomy and vehicle-manipulator coordination.
Field results & integration
Deployment experience, system integration, usability and failure cases.
Data & evaluation
Datasets, reproducible evaluation and lessons from testing underwater systems.
Application requirements
Needs from biological sampling, environmental science, aquaculture and infrastructure operations.
Working on aerial manipulation? Explain how your contribution transfers to underwater systems.
AT THE WORKSHOP
Give your work
a place in the conversation.
Up to ten regular contributions will be accepted. Every accepted contribution receives poster space and a short presentation.
Present your work.
Introduce your contribution through a selected five-minute lightning talk or a two-minute poster pitch, followed by discussion during the coffee and poster session.
Meet the community.
Discuss results, compare approaches and hear from other participants. Attendees will vote for a Community Poster Award, recognized with a certificate.
Shape the roadmap.
Bring barriers and next steps into the Roadblock and Action Roadmap discussion. Accepted abstracts and digital posters will be shared with the relevant permissions.
ANOTHER WAY TO PARTICIPATE
Take on the simulation challenge.
The top three eligible challenge teams will be invited to present posters and short pitches, in addition to the regular contributions.
