The goal of the Italian workshop series on Arti cial Intelligence and RObotics (AIRO) is to present, discuss and assess recent advances in the deployment of Arti cial Intelligence (AI) methods in Robotics. Indeed, AI principles and methods play a crucial role in several areas of the robotics research (e.g. eld, service, social robotics, etc.) and are pervasively exploited at various levels of robot architectures for di erent purposes: sensing and perception, human-robot interaction, intelligent control, cognition, behavior and reasoning models, distributed knowledge representation and computational ontologies, engineering tools, software architectures, and fast-prototyping techniques, learning, real-time systems and robot morphology. Starting from these diverse research elds, the AIRO workshop series aim at providing an established long-term Italian forum where the AI community and the Robotics community may nd an interesting and stimulating common ground. This volume contains the proceedings of the third edition of the AIRO workshop1, which was held in Genova, Italy, the 28nd of November 2016. This edition of the AIRO workshop accepted 15 papers involving 48 authors. The contributions covered several aspects of AI and Robotics, mainly concerned with the following topics: multi-robot communication and coordination; adaptive human-robot collaboration; social robotics; task, path, motion planning and execution; perception and interaction.
The program of the workshop was completed by two keynote talks by Prof. Alessandro Sa otti, from University of O rebro, titled Towards proactive robots for elder care and by Prof. Sandro Mussa-Ivaldi, from Northwestern University, titled Motor primitives: a physical symbol system for action and learning.
The research topics and the results collected in these proceedings illustrate the work of an active and multidisciplinary research community and con rm the growing interest for a forum where AI and Robotics researchers can nd a common ground.
Among the numerous people that contributed to the success of AIRO 2016, we would rst of all thank the people that submitted their research papers to the workshop and attended to the event. Moreover, we sincerely thank the program committee members for their important work on the reviewing process.
