AIRO 2025

Welcome to the site web of AIRO 2025 the 12th Italian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, held in conjunction with the Italian Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Machines (I-RIM 3D 2025).

The AIRO workshop, organized by the Working Group on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA), provides a forum to discuss the integration of AI techniques in autonomous robotics. The focus theme of this is edition is Planning and Learning for Autonomous Robotics.

The synergistic integration of planning and learning is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of advanced robotic autonomy. These techniques are crucial across several domains of robotics and are pervasively exploited at multiple levels of robotic architectures — from high-level decision making and task planning to low-level control and adaptive behaviors. As robots increasingly move beyond structured lab settings and into open-world applications, the ability to combine high-level planning mechanisms with effective methods for learning from experience and demonstration becomes essential. The combination of planning and learning is instrumental in shaping robot intelligence, enabling robots to plan complex action sequences, learn new tasks, and continuously adapt to dynamic environments. 

The workshop aims to bring together researchers working at this intersection, with contributions in (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Decision-theoretic and symbolic planning for robotics

• Learning-based control and adaptive behaviors

• Integration of learning and task planning in robot architectures

• Task and motion planning with learning components

• Task Teaching and Learning from Demonstrations

• Reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and online adaptation

• Applications in real-world scenarios: HRI, service robotics, autonomous exploration

In continuity with previous editions, AIRO2025 will also showcase contributions from the broader AI & Robotics community in Italy, particularly those involved in the PNRR MUR FAIR project (Future AI Research), to encourage national collaborations and cross-contamination between research domains.
