Call for Papers & Posters
We invite extended abstracts and posters on construction robotics, Physical AI, and closely related fields.
Submission Tracks
Paper Track
Contributed papers that constitute novel, original research in construction robotics or closely related fields. Papers cannot be an existing paper that is published or under review.
Submit extended abstracts of about 3–4 pages in IEEE conference paper format, including references. Authors may optionally include a link to a 2–3 minute video presentation if their work involves visualization, robot operation, etc.
Accepted papers will be made publicly available on the workshop website, and authors will be invited to present at the poster session. Three best papers, voted on by the committee members, will be invited to give a 5-minute spotlight presentation. Best papers will also be invited to extend their work into a Special Collection at ASCE’s Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering.
Poster-only Track
Posters that can be either based on a prior publication or novel work. Authors with an original paper may submit it to both tracks.
Accepted posters will be presented during the poster session on the day of the workshop, where authors can discuss emerging ideas with participants, especially early-career researchers. Authors should print and bring their own posters; space for up to 40 posters will be provided.
There is no specific template for posters. Choose the format that best represents your research.
Important Dates
Deadlines, once announced, will be given in Anywhere on Earth Time. If you require an early decision notification due to having to apply for a visa, please contact chenjingdao@cse.msstate.edu.
How to Submit
Submissions will be made through OpenReview (submission link to be posted here), where the paper or poster can be uploaded in PDF format. In the submission form, please specify which track you are submitting to and provide a video URL (if applicable). Camera-ready submissions will also be made through OpenReview.
Questions regarding paper submission should be directed to chenjingdao@cse.msstate.edu.

Poster Awards
Submitted posters will be considered for Best Poster Awards, judged by a panel on the day of the workshop. Best poster awards (claimable in the form of travel reimbursement) are sponsored by the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Construction Robotics.
Accepted Papers and Posters
The list of accepted papers and posters will be posted here after the review process.
