The kimono-clad android robot that recently made its debut as the new greeter at the entrance of Tokyo's Mitsukoshi department store is just one example of the rapid advancements being made in the field of robotics.Cognitive robotics is an approach to creating artificial intelligence in robots by enabling them to learn from and respond to real-world situations, as opposed to pre-programming the robot with specific responses to every conceivable stimulus.Presenting the contributions of international experts from various disciplines within the field, Cognitive Robotics provides novel material and discusses advanced approaches in the field of intelligent robotics. It explains the various aspects of the topic to provide readers with a solid foundation on the subject.This edited collection presents theoretical research in cognitive robotics. It takes a multidisciplinary approach that considers the artificial intelligence, physical, chemical, philosophical, psychological, social, cultural, and ethical aspects of this rapidly emerging field. The editor is a prominent researcher whose Lovotics research into emotional bonds with robots is widely recognized.Supplying an accessible introduction to cognitive robotics, the book considers computational intelligence for cognitive robotics based on informationally structured space. It examines how people respond to robots and what makes robots psychologically appealing to humans.The book contextualizes concepts in the history of studies on intelligence theories and includes case studies of different types of robots in action. Although ideal for robotics researchers and professionals, this book is also suitable for use as a supporting textbook in advanced robotics courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Robotics for Pandemics explores various applications of robots for current global issues such as pandemics and how robotic solutions could combat the virus.Key Features Proposes to employ robots to improve the treatment of patients and leverage the load of the medical system Demonstrates the concept of various robotics in healthcare telepresence, rehabilitation, therapy and delivery robots to accommodate social distancing Explores social robot aesthetics and how social interaction and embodied experiences could be useful during social isolation Includes anecdotes from applications used during the COVID-19 pandemic This will be a valuable reference to professionals, academics and researchers in the field of robotics.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop in Cultural Robotics, 2025, CR 2025, held as part of ACM/IEEE HRI, in Melbourne, Australia, on March 3, 2025.The 15 full papers included are organized in topical sections as follows: Cultural Sensing and Sensitivities; Art + Robotics; and Cultural Futures. The proceedings brings together diverse cultural perspectives to explore how roboticists can effectively integrate sustainability and circular economy principles to foster environmentally responsible, culturally sensitive and socially inclusive innovation when prototyping, testing and developing social robots.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Social Robotics + BioMed, held in Xi'an, China, during September 26-28, 2025.The 27 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The ICSR + BioMed 2025 conference emphasized interdisciplinary innovations in Bio-inspired, Biomedical, and Surgical Robotics.
