for Papers
iSpaRo follows a standard IEEE format, combining oral and poster presentations, keynotes, workshops, and demonstrations. Submitted papers should describe original, unpublished research work. Papers should be 6 pages (US letter size) in length, with a maximum of 2 extra pages, including all figures, tables, acknowledgement, appendices, and bibliography. A single PDF file does not exceed 6 MB in size. Papers should follow the IEEE RAS paper template available here or access the link. All papers must be in English and submitted electronically in PDF format. We encourage authors to submit a 1-min video (up to 10 MB) to complement their paper. Submissions will be done through RAS papercept. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements.All submitted papers will be subject to a rigorous peer review process for their technical and practical contributions to the field of Space Robotics (but not limited), including to the following topics.
-
Planetary exploration
-
Intelligent and autonomous space robotics systems
-
Mission planning
-
Manipulation in space
-
Teleoperation and user interfaces
-
Orbital servicing and debris removal
-
Multi-robot cooperation/collaboration
-

Call
for Workshops
We invite proposals for half-day workshops to take place in conjunction with the International Conference on Space Robotics, (iSpaRo) 2025. Workshops will be held in the morning of either December 1 or December 4. Please submit your workshop proposal as a single PDF file before August 27th using the workshop option through the Paperplaza submission site. We encourage proposals that provide a comprehensive overview of latest developments in space robotics, either in orbital services or planetary exploration. Generic robotic topics (e.g. machine learning, soft robotics, robotic manipulation) are acceptable as long as the proposal is clearly focused on space robotic developments and applications. Proposals must be prepared with the provided template, and should not exceed 6 pages and file size of 6MB max. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted, to
-
Dexterity, Manipulation, and Grasping in Space
-
Perception and Locomotion for planetary exploration
-
Simulation and validation Platforms for Space Applications
-
Modularity in Space Robotics Systems
-
Advanced Materials for Space Applications
-
In-space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing
-
Soft robotics for space applications
-
Generative AI and Automation in Space Exploration
