Ambient Intelligence, as a candidate to become the next wave of computing, has been adopted as a term referring to environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Indeed, this novel computing approach is aimed to extend ubiquitous vision by incorporating intrinsic intelligence in pervasive systems. Among the pervasive systems available on the market, we are witnessing to the ever-increasing adoption of Robots in everyday life environments (museums, hospitals, homes, etc.). Assistive and Social Robots are, indeed, receiving a great attention from the scientific, technological and industrial communities for their potential to not only react to human events through sensing, interpretation and social/physical service provision, but also learn and adapt their behaviours and social responses to the users over time. They can be full-fledged considered as agglomerates of intelligent sensors that can be integrated in a wider sensors network of a smart environment and, through their embodiment can employ contextual information when available, and offer personalized and intuitive responses to users.
The aim of this special session is to encompass valuable research in integration of Robots within Computational Ambient Intelligence. This special session provides an international forum for academics, developers, and industry-related researchers belonging to these two main research sectors to discuss, share experience and explore traditional and new areas of ambient intelligence combined with robotics to solve a wide range of problems, leading to a fruitful discussion on the evolution and the benefits of this technology to the society.
