Apologies for multiple copies<br>
<br>
We are glad to invite you to attend the 8th ICAPS workshop on
Planning and Robotics (PlanRob 2020).<br>
<br>
The event will be an online virtual event and the program is full of
interesting papers.<br>
The workshop program is also enriched by a keynote talk of Rachid
Alami (LAAS-CNRS) on<br>
"Planning and Controlling Human-Robot Joint Activities".<br>
<br>
You may find more details about the program on the workshop web page
and just below.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your attention<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
