The 1st International Workshop on Trustworthy Generative Robotics

Call for Papers

As the IEEE Smart World Congress 2026 converges on the theme of pervasive and intelligent ecosystems, the integration of Generative AI (GenAI) and High-Fidelity Digital Twins (DTs) into robotics marks a paradigm shift toward truly autonomous "Smart Worlds." However, this evolution introduces unprecedented safety challenges. Generative models, while powerful for adaptive behavior, often operate as "black boxes" with non-deterministic outputs, while Digital Twins must ensure millisecond-level synchronization to prevent physical hazards in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC).

This workshop focuses on the "Safety-First" imperative. We explore the intersection of safety-critical robotics and intelligent modeling, emphasizing the need for verification and validation of AI-driven control loops. We invite contributions that move beyond performance metrics toward robustness, explainability, and proactive risk mitigation in industrial, medical, and urban robotic applications. The goal is to establish a roadmap for trustworthy, cyber-symbiotic systems that prioritize human safety in complex, intelligent environments.
