** Aims and Scope **

The goal of AIRO 2024 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 2024 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 2024 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 2024 is part of an on-going effort to consolidate the Italian
community working on various aspects of the intersection between AI
and Robotics. To foster and strengthen this endeavor, the 11th edition of
the
AIRO workshop is organized in close synergy with the
Transversal Project 4 (adjustable autonomy and physical embodied
intelligence) of
the FAIR (Future AI Research) national initiative.


** 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.

Additional submission and format details can be found at
