Robots are rapidly moving from fenced-off automation cells into human environments—factories, warehouses, hospitals, laboratories, and offices—where they must work safely and productively alongside people throughout an entire work shift.

This workshop explores the emerging paradigm of robots as full-shift co-workers: systems that continuously perceive, interact, and coordinate with humans in real workplaces. We bring together researchers across perception and state estimation, robot learning, planning and control, and human–robot interaction, together with practitioners deploying robots in real environments.

The goal is to identify key research questions, deployment challenges, evaluation principles, and future community directions for long-horizon robot autonomy in human-centered settings.

We invite poster submissions and short position-style contributions related to active perception, interaction-aware autonomy, long-horizon deployment, human behavior understanding, evaluation, reliability, and real-world robot operation in human environments.

We warmly invite students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career researchers to submit for the Junior Voice session of the workshop.

This session is designed to give junior researchers a visible platform to share emerging ideas, open questions, early-stage results, and provocative perspectives related to the workshop theme. Selected participants will be invited to give a short spotlight talk during the workshop.

We especially welcome submissions that present bold research directions, deployment-grounded observations, failure cases, or questions that can spark discussion across perception, interaction, autonomy, and human-centered robotics.
