[I-RIM ML] HFR 2025 & SAHRI PhD School, June 2025, Capri, Italy

[fanny.ficuciello]

Dear Colleagues,

I am thrilled to announce that, this year, the International Workshop on 
Human-Friendly Robotics (HFR) is connected to the FIRST EDITION of the 
PhD School on "Supervised Autonomy: How to Shape Human–Robot 
Interaction". Students and research groups willing to participate in HFR 
are encouraged to register at this exciting school, which will take 
place immediately after the workshop at the same location. Please visit 
the website for further information.

Developing human-friendly robots capable of safe and trustworthy 
collaboration requires envisioning and validating new paradigms. To 
explore these paradigms and address the key factors influencing 
human–robot collaboration, the upcoming school will bring together 
experts to cover topics from physical design to artificial intelligence 
across various application areas.

The dates of the events are, respectively:

15–16 June 2025: HFR Workshop (https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202502220846440144322&URLID=3&ESV=10.0.28.7941&IV=F1C504762046E140BC823ADB5C9295CA&TT=1740214005228&ESN=gPMTrxBXQi5xd3mr1BEmUncKSSDfB5YdGSkJGMBcSes%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly9oZnIyMDI1LmV1Lw&HK=574BC141274E05AC93AE7C10FC1D7B1114D7E4FB44A4DACF5B9049412AA20B20)

This single-track workshop aims to bring together academic scientists, 
researchers, and industry to exchange and share their experiences and 
research results on all aspects related to introducing robots into 
everyday life. The workshop covers various topics related to human-robot 
interaction, both physical and cognitive, including theories, 
methodologies, technologies, and empirical and experimental studies.

17–21 June 2025: SAHRI PhD School (https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202502220846440144322&URLID=2&ESV=10.0.28.7941&IV=ED3DD4ACDE8B91771551CFB84B0BF031&TT=1740214005228&ESN=BCW28lo184eecDSVldFTCaNjiu9EAEfbBsftYRoW0ZI%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly9zYWhyaS5ldS8&HK=564850C4A49DADFFD285A2CE7147B2EF22E9BFF46DFCA0CE1B9817954772029D)

This school intends to investigate the influence of all those aspects on 
the realization of supervised autonomy in robots operating in different 
domains, such as driving, flying, assistive technologies, teleoperation, 
medical applications, logistics, manufacturing. How to shape 
"Human–Robot Interaction” is a question to be answered by focusing on 
the integrated “Phygital” aspects concerning sensors, design and 
materials, control and artificial intelligence."

The events will take place in the stunning setting of the island of 
Capri (https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202502220846440144322&URLID=1&ESV=10.0.28.7941&IV=8575256E86A360B65B076342DC53968F&TT=1740214005228&ESN=Z4XPWCXHMKlkFnQsjIdqQpLM%2FAnizBjTKv4RV6TG3Sw%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly9oZnIyMDI1LmV1L2Fib3V0LWNhcHJpLw&HK=427856587FBE5ECFFDA5F2837ED25216D95F2BDEAFFBD6F0C29F9A64F0974775) in June, the month that enhances 
its beauty the most!

Warmest greetings from Naples!
