1st Workshop on Interactive Task Learning in Human-Robot co-construction (ITL4HRI) at RO-MAN 2025
EASE PIs Kümpel, Beetz, Sciutti and Wrede initiated the first Workshop on Interactive Task learning in Human-Robot co-construction (ITL4HRI), to be held at RO-MAN 2025.
The workshop aims to discuss the development of frameworks designed for robots to learn tasks through physical and social interactions with humans, in co-construction settings. Robots are expected to be able to perform diverse tasks with human-level skillset, such as manipulation and delivery, in various environments, in the near future. However, despite having the physical capabilities, programming the robots to learn and execute such tasks
remains a major challenge. An alluring approach to overcoming the challenges involves designing frameworks for task learning that are based on human interaction and feedback. As attention shifts towards large language models, we want to discuss the benefits and downsides of existing approaches, with a focus on developing robots that are enabled to support humanity in daily activities.
In this workshop, we aim to explore the realm of strategies to achieve this goal. Thereby, the workshop will advance the field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) by addressing critical challenges in interactive task learning through co-construction, leveraging insights from cognitive science, multimodal communication, effective social feedback mechanisms, and embodied task understanding.

All submissions must be written in English and must be formatted according to the CEUR style. You can find the style on overleaf. All papers must present original work that is not currently under review. We welcome the following types of contributions:
- Full research papers (8 to 14 pages)
- Short research papers (4 to 7 pages)
- Extended abstracts of recently published journal papers (1 to 2 pages)
Full research paper submissions must describe original and completed work, where mature results and evaluation are included.
Short research paper submissions can present a work in progress/position paper or include a small focused contribution with preliminary results.
Extended Abstract: Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of their recently published journal articles within the field of AI and cognition. The original article should be accepted and published no earlier than 2023.
