**Description
We invite submissions for the 1st Workshop on Symbolic and
Neuro-Symbolic Architectures for
Intelligent Robotics Technolog{y (SYNERGY), aimed at advancing the
frontier of intelligent
robotics through the integration of Knowledge Representation
techniques and neuro-symbolic architectures.
This workshop aims to provide a collaborative platform for experts
working in knowledge representation,
neuro-symbolic architectures, machine learning, and robotics to
exchange ideas, discuss challenges,
and explore innovative solutions. We encourage submissions that
demonstrate clear connections to KR
and neuro-symbolic architectures, even if the primary focus is on ML or LLMs.

**Focus Areas
The topics of interest for SYNERGY include, but are not limited to:
    - Knowledge representation frameworks for intelligent robotics
    - Neuro-symbolic architectures and their applications in robotics
    - Coordination and integration of multiple components in
robot-focused architectures
    - Machine learning (ML) techniques and large-language models
(LLMs) in the context of robotics
    - Interfaces and interactions between robots and humans enabled by
ML and LLMs
    - Challenges and solutions in using ML and LLMs for robotics, with
emphasis on safety and reliability

**Submission Guidelines
We welcome original research contributions, work-in-progress reports,
and position papers addressing
the workshop themes.
We plan to publish original contributions as ``Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS)''.
Accepted non-original contributions will be given visibility on the
conference Web site including
a link to the original publication, if available.

Contributions must not exceed 14 pages (references excluded) for full
papers and 7 pages (references excluded)
for short papers. Contributions must be formatted using the CEURART style
(https://ceurws.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/ceurws-publishes-ceurart-paper-style/).
All contributions must be written in English

At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend
the workshop to present the contribution.

All the papers must be submitted through the CMT portal at the following link:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/KR2024/Track/26/Submission/Create

**Important Dates:
    - Paper Submission Deadline: July 17, 2024
    - Notification Deadline: August 21, 2024
    - Workshop Registration Deadline: September 4, 2024
    - Camera-Ready Paper Due: TBD
    - SYNERGY Workshop: TBD (one-day event between November 2nd and 4th, 2024)
