The IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL) conference is a unique meeting gathering researchers from computer science, robotics, psychology, neuroscience, and other disciplines to share and discuss research on how humans and other animals learn and develop and how this can inform and be informed by robotics and machine learning systems.
Full papers and other submissions are invited on a range of topics including but not limited to:
- Embodied learning and development in biological systems and robots
- Developmental stages and sensitive periods
- Emergence of verbal and nonverbal communication
- Curiosity, intrinsic motivations, exploration, play and active learning
- Architectures for lifelong learning
- Emergence of body and affordance perception
- Learning control of body movement
- Emotional development and the role of emotion in learning
- Prediction, planning, and problem solving
- The relationship between evolution and development
- Epistemological foundations and philosophical issues
- Robotic and computational models of human and animal development
- Developmentally-inspired machine learning
- Human-robot interaction in developmental contexts
- Applications of machine learning to human and animal development
Submission types
- Full six-page paper submissions – Deadline: March 14, 2025.
Papers of 6 pages in IEEE double column format will undergo peer-review, and accepted and presented submissions will be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE Xplore.

Submit 1-page abstracts of the proposal.
Journal track – Deadline: April 1, 2025.
Journal track submissions must be about a journal paper that has been published in the March 2024 – March 2025 period (online ahead of print is fine) on topics relevant to the conference.
Late-breaking posters – Deadline: June 13, 2025.
