The goal of the Italian workshop series on Artificial Intelligence and RObotics
(AIRO) is to present, discuss and assess recent advances in the deployment
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in Robotics. AI principles and methods
play a crucial role in several areas of the robotics research (e.g. field, service,
social robotics, etc.) and are pervasively exploited at various levels of robot
architectures for different purposes: sensing and perception, reasoning and deci-
sion, learning, intelligent control, adaptive and social behavior, verification and
validation methods, etc. Starting from these diverse -yet intertwined- research
fields, the AIRO workshop series aims at providing an established long-term
Italian forum where the AI community and the Robotics community may find
an interesting and stimulating common ground.
    This volume contains the proceedings of the seventh edition of the AIRO
workshop1 , which was held on November 26th, 2020 in conjuction with the
19th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelli-
gence (AIxIA 2020). Due to COVID-19, the AIRO 2020 workshop (along with
all the event of AIxIA 2020) was virtually accessible “anywhere” in the world
through the internet.
    This edition of the AIRO workshop accepted 10 papers involving 45 au-
thors. The program was structured into four sections Service and Industrial
Robotics, Social Robotics, Assistive Robotics, and Planning and Scheduling. The
contributions covered several aspects of AI and Robotics in the areas of Service,
Industrial, Social, Assistive Robotics and mainly concerned with the following
research topics: Human-Robot Collaboration, Robot Competition, Autonomous
Conversation, Computational creativity, BCI & Neurorobotics, Social Interac-
tion and Assistance, Dialogue, Robot Navigation, Learning and Explainable AI,
AI Planning and Scheduling, Multi-robot task allocation.
    The workshop program included also the keynote talk of Lorenzo Jamone, Se-
nior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, UK, titled Toward intelligent
robots: haptics and dexterity and a Panel Session on Verification and Anomaly
Detection for Intelligent Robots with speakers: Francesco Amigoni (Associate
Professor, Politecnico di Milano), Davide Azzalini (Doctoral student, Politecnico
di Milano), Domenico Bloisi (Associate Professor, Università della Basilicata),
Giuseppe Di Luna (Research fellow, Università di Roma), Alessandro Farinelli
(Full Professor at University of Verona), Luca Iocchi (Full Professor, Sapienza,
Università di Roma).
    The research topics and the results collected in these proceedings illustrate
the work of an active and multidisciplinary research community and confirm
the growing interest for a forum where AI and Robotics researchers can find a
common ground.
