October 23-26, 2024 – Odense, Denmark
The 16th International Conference on Social Robotics will bring together researchers and practitioners working on the interaction between humans and intelligent robots and on the integration of social robots into our society. ICSR’24 will take place in Odense, Denmark as a face-to-face conference between October 23-26, 2024. This will be the first time that the conference will be hosted in Denmark and Scandinavia. The theme of this year’s conference is “Empowering Humanity: The Role of Social and Collaborative Robotics in Shaping Our Future”.
The conference welcomes original contributions describing technically rigorous scientific and research advances in the area of social robotics and AI:
Innovative ideas and concepts, new discoveries and improvements, novel applications on the latest fundamental advances in the core technologies that form the backbone of social robotics as well as distinguished studies and projects pertaining the social robotics and its interaction and impact in our society. Empowering Humanity also means recognizing how social robotics and AI can help push the boundaries of creative expression and interactive experiences. This year’s conference welcomes contributions that engage social robotics and AI across the domains of the visual and performing arts, including design, music, live performance, and interactive installations.
