Call for Contributions

Overview and Deadlines

We invite extended abstracts on topics related to large-area tactile sensing skins. We welcome contributions covering (but not limited to): Materials and Fabrication, Signal Processing and Data Management, Tactile Perception and Control, and Tactile Applications. This workshop aims to foster discussion and collaboration across robotics, soft materials, flexible electronics, and AI-driven perception.

The presentation format for accepted extended abstracts is a poster session and flash talk (TBD). For accepted submissions, at least one author must present on site at the workshop.

Submission Instructions

Extended abstracts may contain previously published material and therefore do not require anonymization. Authors should list their names and affiliations and must cite any prior related work by the same authors.

These works can either represent preliminary results or report already published work. For the latter case, the original publication should be clearly mentioned with a variation of “this work is an extract from the paper [x]”.
