Overview
Minds live in bodies, and bodies move through a changing world. The goal of embodied artificial intelligence is to create agents, such as robots, which learn to creatively solve challenging tasks requiring interaction with the environment. While this is a tall order, fantastic advances in deep learning and the increasing availability of large datasets like ImageNet have enabled superhuman performance on a variety of AI tasks previously thought intractable. Computer vision, speech recognition and natural language processing have experienced transformative revolutions at passive input-output tasks like language translation and image processing, and reinforcement learning has similarly achieved world-class performance at interactive tasks like games. These advances have supercharged embodied AI, enabling a growing collection of researchers to make rapid progress towards intelligent agents which can:
- See: perceive their environment through vision or other senses.
- Talk: hold a natural language dialog grounded in their environment.
- Listen: understand and react to audio input anywhere in a scene.
- Act: navigate and interact with their environment to accomplish goals.
- Reason: consider and plan for the long-term consequences of their actions.
The goal of the Embodied AI workshop is to bring together researchers from computer vision, language, graphics, and robotics to share and discuss the latest advances in embodied intelligent agents. EAI 2025’s overaching theme is Real-World Applications: creating embodied AI solutions that are deployed in real-world environments, ideally in the service of real-world tasks. Embodied AI agents are maturing, and the community should promote work that transfers this research out of simulation and laboratory environments into real-world settings. This umbrella theme is divided into four topics:
- Embodied AI Solutions As embodied AI solutions become more powerful, we should demand of them that they solve more complex problems - particularly real-world problems outside of simulation and the laboratory. While scientific advances are of interest, we are actively seeking work that applies embodied AI to real-world industry applications.
- Advances in Simulation Advances in simulation have enabled many embodied AI algorithms. Procedural simulation, parameterized simulation, differentiable simulation and world models are of interest, as are simulations based on the increasing numbers of large embodied datasets.
- Generative Methods for Embodied AI Generative AI is becoming an increasingly important for embodied artificial intelligence research. Topics such as generative AI for simulation, generative AI for data generation, and generative AI for policies (e.g., diffusion policies and world models) are of great interest.
- Foundation Models Large-scale pretrained models adaptable to new tasks first came to the forefront in the domains of language, speech, and vision, but increasingly foundation models are being developed in robotics domains including action, perception, problem solving, and simulation. We invite both language model planning research that adapts existing models to embodied problems as well as embodied foundation models that are trained directly on embodied problems.
The Embodied AI 2025 workshop will be held in conjunction with
CVPR 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee. It will feature a host of invited talks covering a variety of topics in Embodied AI, many exciting Embodied AI challenges, a poster session, and panel discussions. For more information on the Embodied AI Workshop series, see our
Retrospectives paper on the first three years of the workshop.

Challenges
The Embodied AI 2025 workshop is hosting many exciting challenges covering a wide range of topics. More details regarding data, submission instructions, and timelines can be found on the individual challenge websites.
The workshop organizers will award each first-prize challenge winner a cash prize, sponsored by Logical Robotics and our other sponsors.
Challenge winners may be given the opportunity to present during their challenge's presentation at the the workshop. Since many challenges can be grouped into similar tasks, we encourage participants to submit models to more than 1 challenge. The table below describes, compares, and links each challenge.

Call for Papers
We invite high-quality 2-page extended abstracts on embodied AI, especially in areas relevant to the themes of this year's workshop:
- Embodied AI Solutions
- Advances in Simulation
- Generative Methods for Embodied AI
- Foundation Models
as well as themes related to embodied AI in general:
- Visual Navigation
- Embodied Mobile Manipulation
- Embodied Question Answering
- Embodied Vision & Language
- Language Model Planning
Accepted papers will be presented as posters or spotlight talks at the workshop. These papers will be made publicly available in a non-archival format, allowing future submission to archival journals or conferences. Paper submissions do not have to be anononymized. Per
CVPR rules regarding workshop papers, at least one author must register for CVPR using an in-person registration.
Submission
The submission deadline is May 4th (Anywhere on Earth). Papers should be no longer than 2 pages (excluding references) and styled in the CVPR format.
Accepted Papers
Note. The order of the papers is randomized each time the page is refreshed.
