Motivation and Scope:
The global challenge of climate change demands urgent and innovative solutions across all sectors. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged as crucial technologies with immense potential to address climate change and work towards achieving net-zero emissions. This special session aims to explore the intersection of robotics, AI, and sustainability, focusing on practical applications, novel methodologies, and cutting-edge research. It provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to exchange ideas, share insights, and collaborate on leveraging robotics and AI for mitigating climate change and fostering sustainable practices.
This special session welcomes submissions of original research papers, case studies, and innovative solutions that contribute to advancing the field of robotics and AI for net-zero emissions and climate change resilience. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations that address the multifaceted challenges of environmental sustainability through technological innovation.
