******************************************************************************************

 9th Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIRO 2022)
https://www.airo-aixia.it/airo-2022-home/ November 28 - December 2 2022
Udine, Italy Held in conjunction with the 21th Conference of the Italian
Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA 2022)
https://aixia2022.uniud.it/
*******************************************************************************************


 ** Important Dates **

Submission deadline: 01 October, 2022
Notification of acceptance: 25 October, 2022
Camera Ready: TBA, 2022
Workshop days: TBA, 2022

 ** Aims and Scope **

The goal of AIRO 2022 is to foster the discussion about the use of
Artificial Intelligence methods to design intelligent robots. AI principles
and methods play a crucial role in several areas of Robotics research
(e.g., field, service, social robotics, etc.) and are pervasively exploited
at various levels of robot architectures. We argue that robot intelligence
is a property arising from the interaction between robots and their
environment. As we expect robots to leave lab settings and to take part to
our everyday life, either at home or in public spaces, the notion of AI as
a separated and somewhat peculiar functionality of a robotic architecture
shows its intrinsic limitations. On the contrary, the main motivation of
AIRO 2022 is the belief that AI techniques must be considered at any levels
of a robotic architecture, with respect to both hardware and software
components. Sensing, representation and action can greatly benefit from the
adoption of various forms of AI. The scientific relevance of the workshop
is related to how diverse areas of AI research can be used to design robots
able to face complex challenges in real-world tasks. The scope of AIRO 2022
encompasses such diverse yet intertwined research areas as sensing and
perception, human-robot interaction, intelligent control, cognition and
adaptation, behaviour and reasoning models, knowledge representation and
computational ontologies, but also robot engineering tools, real-time
software architectures and fast-prototyping techniques. Starting from these
fields, and in continuity with the previous AIRO workshops, we will explore
how robot intelligence is expected to play major roles when robots interact
with humans and when dealing with everyday not predictable situations, like
human assistance, housekeeping or autonomous driving, just to name three of
the most common trendy scenarios nowadays. AIRO 2022 is part of an on-going
effort to consolidate the Italian community working on various aspects of
the intersection between AI and Robotics.


 ** Workshop Format and submission**

 The workshop will include oral presentations, system demonstrations and
posters related to the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
Invited talks will complement presentations of contributed papers.
Prospective authors wishing to give either an oral or poster presentation
will be required to submit a 5-page extended abstract (not including
references). People interested in showcasing live their work in the form of
a demo, or showing videos of their work, will be required to submit a
1-page abstract describing the main relevant aspects of the demo/video. All
the 5-page extended abstracts and the 1-page abstracts will form the
Proceedings of the event, which will be published in the CEUR Workshop
Proceedings AI*IA Series, as in previous Workshop editions, as well as on
the workshop website. Contributions should be submitted via the AIRO 2022
EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=airo2022 All
contributions should be typeset in the **new CEUR-ART style**, described
at: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/sample-1col.pdf Overleaf users can clone the
style from https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt Offline versions for
LaTeX and DOCX are available from http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
The organizers are negotiating with the Editorial Board of the Robotics and
Autonomous Systems journal to organise a Special Issue on AI and Robotics.
