Workshop Overview

The M.I.L.E. workshop will be organized as a full-day event combining invited talks, peer-reviewed contributions, interactive sessions, and a moderated panel discussion. The format is designed to stimulate both technical exchange and community-building.

We solicit short papers (2–4 pages, IEEE format) presenting original research, position papers, or ongoing work related to misalignment in human–robot interaction and multi-agent systems.

Topics of Interest

  • Modeling misalignment in human–robot interaction
  • Adaptive policies under uncertain or misaligned goals
  • Shared autonomy and autonomy modulation
  • Strategic or adversarial behavior in collaborative tasks
  • Learning and negotiation in multi-agent settings
  • Experimental studies on engagement, disengagement, and partial cooperation

Review and Presentation Format

Submissions will be peer-reviewed by a technical program committee composed of experts in HRI, adaptive robotics, and learning-based methods.

Accepted contributions will be presented as posters, each preceded by a short spotlight talk (2–3 minutes). Depending on the number of submissions, a limited number of papers will be selected for oral presentation based on relevance and coverage of workshop themes.

Submission Format

Papers must follow the standard IEEE conference format and be 2–4 pages in length. Submissions can be made via the workshop submission site: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mileroman26 .

Important Dates

  • Submission deadline: July 3rd, 2026

Publication

All accepted abstracts and papers will be made available on the workshop website. We also plan to organize a special journal issue, inviting authors of relevant workshop contributions and opening participation to a broader audience beyond workshop attendees.
