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 diferent purposes: sensing and perception, reasoning and decision, learning, intelligent control, adaptive and social behavior, verification and validation methods, etc. Starting from these diverse -yet intertwined- research ifelds, 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 11th edition of the AIRO workshop1, which was held on 26th of November 2024 in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2024). This edition of the workshop was organized in close synergy with the Transversal Project 4 (Adjustable Autonomy and Physical Embodied Intelligence) of the National PNRR MUR Project FAIR (Future AI Research).
The 11th AIRO workshop accepted 12 papers (9 included in this volume) involving 48 authors. The program was structured into three sections: Human Robot Interaction and Collaboration, Robot Learning, Planning and Robotics.
The workshop program concluded with a final panel session on Planning, Learning and Generative Models for Autonomous Robotics. The panel, coordinated and moderated by Gloria Beraldo, Alberto Castellini, Alberto Finzi, and Fabio Patrizi involved the following invited speakers: Alfonso Emilio Gerevini (Universiat` degli Studi di Brescia), Luca Iocchi (Sapienza, University of Rome), Luciano Serafini (Fondazione Bruno Kessler).
The research topics and results presented in these proceedings illustrate the work of an active and multidisciplinary research community. They also confirm the growing interest in a forum where AI and robotics researchers can converge and find common ground.
