Content

The workshop will explore the past, present, and future of human-robot collaboration, focusing on how robots can act not just as programmable agents, but as intelligent partners able to understand, anticipate, and adapt to human behavior in dynamic and unstructured environments. This vision raises fundamental challenges in planning, learning, and control, and requires new strategies to ensure safety while fostering trust, shared goals, and mutual understanding. Through keynote talks, poster pitches (with poster session), and open discussions, the workshop will highlight recent advances toward flexible, human-aware robotic systems.

These topics are gaining increasing relevance within the emerging paradigm of Industry 5.0, where humans are placed at the center and robots are designed to act as capable, trustworthy assistants.


The workshop will focus on the following topics:
  • Human-Aware Planning, Learning, and Control
  • Safety in Human-Robot Collaboration
  • Task and Motion Planning in HRC
  • Human Factors and Human-in-the-Loop
  • Human Modeling, Monitoring, and Digital Twins
  • Generative AI Techniques for Human-Robot Collaboration
  • Explainable Robot Decision Making
  • Smart Perception for HRC applications
  • Multi-Agent Coordination for HRC
  • Ergonomics, Trust, and Human-Centered Automation
