DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) German Chapter i
 s pleased to announce the IEEE RAS Summer School on Cognitive Robotics\, t
 aking place from September 7–11\, 2026 (arrival on September 6\, 2026)\,
  at the historic Abtei Frauenwörth\, Chiemsee\, Germany.\n\nRobotics is r
 apidly evolving from laboratory research into a transformative technology 
 with impact across manufacturing\, healthcare\, mobility\, civil security\
 , and everyday life. At the same time\, recent advances in Artificial Inte
 lligence are creating new opportunities for autonomous systems that can pe
 rceive\, reason\, learn\, interact\, and act in complex real-world environ
 ments.\n\nThis Summer School brings together leading researchers from AI a
 nd robotics to explore the foundations and future of cognitive robotics. T
 he program will address key topics such as decision making\, automated pla
 nning\, continual learning\, task and motion integration\, perception-driv
 en autonomy\, and human-AI interaction.\n\nParticipants will benefit from 
 lectures\, discussions\, and networking opportunities in an interactive se
 tting designed for students\, early-career researchers\, and professionals
  interested in the next generation of intelligent robotic systems. The Sum
 mer School also offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas with interna
 tional experts\, connect with peers\, and engage with entrepreneurs workin
 g at the forefront of robotics and automation.\n\nApplications are open un
 til July 13\, 2026. The number of participants is limited to ensure a high
 ly interactive learning experience. Registration is open until July 31\, 2
 026.\n\nImportant notes for registration -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!\n\n-\
 nRegistration fees are processed in USD through the IEEE vTools registrati
 on system.\n\n-\nRegistration is open only to accepted applicants. Please 
 register only if you have received an official acceptance notification and
  invitation to register. Full payment is required to complete your registr
 ation. Please ensure that you select the correct registration category.\n\
 n-\nRegistrations submitted without a valid invitation or with the wrong r
 egistration category will be cancelled. In such cases\, refunds are subjec
 t to IEEE policies and procedures. A minimum processing fee of USD 50 will
  be deducted from any approved refund.\n\n-\nNon-Student Registration Fees
