research (e.g., field, service, social robotics, etc.) and are
pervasively exploited at various levels of robot architectures. <br>We
argue that robot intelligence is a property arising from the interaction
between robots and their environment. As we expect robots to leave <br>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 <br>functionality of a robotic architecture shows its intrinsic<br>limitations. <br><br>On the contrary, the main motivation of AIRO 2023 is the belief that<br>AI techniques must be considered at any levels of a robotic<br>architecture, with respect to both hardware and software components.<br>Sensing, representation and action can greatly benefit from the<br>adoption of various forms of AI.<br><br>The scientific relevance of the workshop is related to how diverse<br>areas of AI research can be used to design robots able to face complex<br>challenges in real-world tasks.<br><br>The scope of AIRO 2023 encompasses such diverse yet intertwined<br>research areas as sensing and perception, human-robot interaction,<br>intelligent control, cognition and adaptation, behaviour and reasoning<br>models, knowledge representation and computational ontologies, but<br>also robot engineering tools, real-time software architectures and<br>fast-prototyping techniques. Starting from these fields, and in<br>continuity with the previous AIRO workshops, we will explore how robot<br>intelligence is expected to play major roles when robots interact with<br>humans and when dealing with everyday not predictable situations, like<br>human assistance, housekeeping or autonomous driving, just to name<br>three of the most common trendy scenarios nowadays.<br><br>AIRO 2023 is part of an on-going effort to consolidate the Italian<br>community working on various aspects of the intersection between AI<br>and Robotics. To foster and strengthen this endeavor, the 10th edition of the<br>AIRO
workshop is organized in close synergy with the Transversal Project 4
(Adjustable Autonomy and Physical Embodied Intelligence) of <br>the National PNRR MUR Project FAIR (Future AI Research).<br><br>** Workshop Format and submission**<br><br>The workshop will include oral presentations, system demonstrations<br>and posters related to the integration of Artificial Intelligence and<br>Robotics. Invited talks will complement presentations of contributed<br>papers.<br><br>Prospective authors wishing to give either an oral or poster<br>presentation will be required to submit a 5-page extended abstract<br>(not including references). People interested in showcasing live their<br>work in the form of a demo, or showing videos of their work, will be<br>required to submit a 1-page abstract describing the main relevant<br>aspects of the demo/video.<br><br>All the 5-page extended abstracts and the 1-page abstracts will form<br>the Proceedings of the event, which will be published in the CEUR<br>Workshop Proceedings AI*IA Series, as in previous Workshop editions,<br>as well as on the workshop website.<br><br>Contributions should be submitted via the AIRO 2023 EasyChair website: <br><a href="https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202309131430020270450&URLID=8&ESV=10.0.19.7431&IV=7E5AC84CF4F1A471F011FEA69E1E77E8&TT=1694615403697&ESN=qytuQoha7x1x%2F3cGc6v1hjgn5dhljw5FCmjfd4i8TlI%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly9lYXN5Y2hhaXIub3JnL215L2NvbmZlcmVuY2U_Y29uZj1haXJvMjAyMw&HK=56BAD4888A7886CFE8026117BCE4CD0A408B2C101DC170C96AFB69CB45FFC364" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/my/<span></span>conference?conf=airo2023</a><br><br>All contributions should be typeset in the **new CEUR-ART style**,<br>described at: <a href="https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202309131430020270450&URLID=6&ESV=10.0.19.7431&IV=75131B95A3B12EDDFB1CA5469E01A24D&TT=1694615403697&ESN=QmEpbDWbXbLInpw2pVHI5X24Hiad4TsPLXncXqxUVTY%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cDovL2NldXItd3Mub3JnL1ZvbC1YWFgvc2FtcGxlLTFjb2wucGRm&HK=12A9BE4F65A89498E251F5348F422ED2108A493D474840DFA4A72FCE7833656A" target="_blank">http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/<span></span>sample-1col.pdf</a><br>Overleaf users can clone the style from <a href="https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202309131430020270450&URLID=4&ESV=10.0.19.7431&IV=5343D80EF0EF60216B2524E8E1C38BC1&TT=1694615403697&ESN=K3%2BvvhnRpCC7nrpSosHAGwggW6kizry5pqAaTXg8%2F0o%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub3ZlcmxlYWYuY29tL3JlYWQvZ3doeG5xY2doaGR0&HK=D0B98864D481E5B7EECAC12D2CDE9E21EF44D5D04A0744A0AA98B0BAF9FB17AB" target="_blank">https://www.overleaf.com/read/<span></span>gwhxnqcghhdt</a><br>Offline versions for LaTeX and DOCX are available from <a href="https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202309131430020270450&URLID=2&ESV=10.0.19.7431&IV=1D93CDB41DEE7BCC77583BAE17E42883&TT=1694615403697&ESN=%2B0FDWZE%2FJfLgZMKxrzNlggSNjjO3msZg2OIq217R3X0%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cDovL2NldXItd3Mub3JnL1ZvbC1YWFgvQ0VVUkFSVC56aXA&HK=4677712D51865B03D065B5D937EC11DE27BE21BA2A50B50E144BED37AC9E983D" target="_blank">http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/<span></span>CEURART.zip</a><br><br>The organizers are negotiating with the Editorial Board of the<br>Robotics and Autonomous Systems journal to organise a Special Issue on<br>AI and Robotics.<br><br>** Important Dates **<br><b><br>Submission deadline: September 25th, 2023</b><br>Notification of acceptance: October 6th, 2023<br>Camera Ready: November 6th, 2023<br>Workshop days: 6th-9th November 2023<br><br>** Workshop Organizers **<br><br>Salvatore Anzalone (Universite' Paris 8, Saint Denis, Paris, France)<br>Gloria Beraldo (National Research Council, CNR, Rome, Italy)<br><span>Alberto</span> Castellini (Universita' di Verona, Verona, Italy)<br><span>Alberto</span> <span>Finzi</span> (Universita' di Napoli "Federico II", Naples, Italy)<br>Fabio Patrizi (Sapienza, Universita' di Roma, Roma, Italy)<br clear="all"><br></div>
