Advancements for Intelligent Robotics in 4D Scenes: Localization, Reconstruction, Rendering, and Generation

4D Scene Understanding for Intelligent Robotics

IROS 2025 Workshop

About the Workshop

The Challenge: Modern robotic systems must operate safely and robustly in dynamic environments where conventional assumptions about scene stability are constantly violated.

This workshop explores the cutting-edge intersection of 4D robotics—where spatial perception meets temporal context—addressing the fundamental challenges of dynamic localization, real-time reconstruction, high-fidelity rendering, and generative modeling in ever-changing environments.

Through engaging keynotes, paper presentations, and interactive discussions, participants will discover state-of-the-art approaches that enable robots to not just perceive their environment, but truly understand its temporal dynamics. We aim to establish standardized benchmarks, discuss novel evaluation protocols, and foster cross-disciplinary collaborations that will shape the next generation of intelligent robotics.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Dynamic Localization: Real-time positioning in changing environments
  • Temporal Reconstruction: Building 4D world models from sensor data
  • Neural Rendering: High-fidelity view synthesis for robotic perception
  • Scene Generation: Creating realistic dynamic environments for training and simulation
