ICSR 2024 Proceedings Available Free of Charge

The 16th edition of the ICSR (ICSR 2024) brought together researchers and practitioners working on human-robot interaction and the integration of social robots into our society. The title of the conference included the addition of „AI“. This was a clarification and demarcation related to the fact that since 2024 there have been two other formats with the name ICSR. ICSR’24 (ICSR + AI) was held as a face-to-face conference in Odense, Denmark, from 23 to 26 October 2024. The theme of the conference was „Empowering Humanity: The role of social and collaborative robotics in shaping our future“. The topics of the Call for Papers included „Collaborative robots in service applications (construction, agriculture, etc.)“, „Human-robot interaction and collaboration“, „Affective and cognitive sciences for socially interactive robots“, and „Context awareness, expectation and intention understanding“. The general chairs were Oskar Palinko, University of Southern Denmark, and Leon Bodenhagen, University of Southern Denmark. The three proceedings volumes were published in March 2025 and are available free of charge until 23 April 2025.
