Airo 2019 artificial intelligence and robotics

The goal of the Italian workshop series on Artificial Intelligence and RObotics(AIRO) is to present, discuss and assess recent advances in the deployment ofArtificial Intelligence (AI) methods in Robotics. AI principles and methods playa crucial role in several areas of the robotics research (e.g. field, service, socialrobotics, etc.) and are pervasively exploited at various levels of robot archi-tectures for different purposes: sensing and perception, reasoning and decision,learning, intelligent control, adaptive and social behavior, verification and valida-tion methods, etc. Starting from these diverse -yet intertwined- research fields,the AIRO workshop series aims at providing an established long-term Italianforum where the AI community and the Robotics community may find an inter-esting and stimulating common ground. This volume contains the proceedingsof the sixth edition of the AIRO workshop1, which was held in Rende, Italy,on November 22 2019. This edition of the AIRO workshop accepted 9 papersinvolving 33 authors. The program was structured into three sectionsHuman-robot interaction,Planning and Robotics, andMobile Robots. The contributionscovered several aspects of AI and Robotics in the areas of Industrial, Service andSocial Robotics and mainly concerned with the following research topics: human-robot interaction, robot learing, semantic mapping, brain computer interefaces,planning and scheduling, architectures and interfaces for robot control.The workshop program opened with the keynote talk of Prof. Daniele Nardi,full professor at Sapienza, Universit`a di Roma, titledS-AvE: Semantic ActiveVision Exploration and Mapping for Mobile Robots in Indoor Environments.The research topics and the results collected in these proceedings illustratethe work of an active and multidisciplinary research community and confirmthe growing interest for a forum where AI and Robotics researchers can find acommon ground.
