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 eighth edition of the AIRO work-
shop1 , which was held on 30 November 2021 in conjunction with the 20th Inter-
national Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA
2021). Due to COVID-19, the AIRO 2021 workshop (along with all the events
of AIxIA 2021) was virtually accessible “anywhere” in the world through the
internet.
    This edition of the AIRO workshop accepted 11 papers involving 40 au-
thors. The program was structured into three sections Collaborative and Social
Robotics, Robot Planning and Learning, and Mobile Robotics. The contributions
covered several aspects of AI and Robotics in the areas of service, social, and
assistive robotics and they were mainly concerned with the following research
topics: human-robot interaction, robot learning, task planning, task assignment,
learning and planning, multirobots, planning under uncertainty, cloud robotics,
ontologies, robot navigation.
    The workshop program also included the keynote talk of Prof. Alessandro
Farinelli, full professor at the University of Verona, Department of Computer
Science, titled Safe Reinforcement Learning for Intelligent Robotic Systems.
    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 in a forum where AI and Robotics researchers can find a
common ground.
