IROS 2025 Workshop
Multi-Robot Systems Empowered by Large Language Models
Multi-robot systems have long been a core field of robotics research, yet their full potential remains untapped due to challenges in generalizability and intelligence. While single-robot systems have seen significant advancements in the last year, particularly with the help of large language models (LLMs), multi-robot systems are now poised for a transformative leap.
This workshop aims to explore the intersection of large models and multi-robot systems, focusing on key areas such as collaborative task planning, navigation, object transport, decision-making, formation control, and motion planning. By bringing together leading experts in the field, we will discuss how large models can enhance the capabilities of multi-robot systems, enabling them to tackle complex, real-world tasks with greater efficiency and adaptability. This workshop will not only highlight the latest advancements but also foster interdisciplinary collaboration, attracting researchers from both robotics and AI communities.
