About

The 1st International Workshop on “Adjustable Autonomy and Physical Embodied Intelligence” will take place as part of the 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) on October 20, 2024 in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Regulating autonomy of AI systems is a crucial challenge in AI, especially in contexts where the systems are immersed in and interact with human society. In these cases, the systems need the ability to operate and learn autonomously, while understanding when their decisions are unsafe, questionable or unethical, and thus human supervision is required. Since situations are more and more frequent where systems exhibiting a high degree of autonomy are embodied into physical devices, such as robots, this form of adjustable autonomy also needs to take into account the specificities of the devices where the systems are physically embodied. In order to unify these two perspectives, scientific foundations, techniques, and tools for adjustable autonomy need to be devised, so as to equip software and/or physical AI systems with the required abilities to operate and learn in human environments, while being fully integrated in the environment and trustworthy.

The objective of the workshop is to serve as a forum for researchers interested in investigating all the aspects of combining adjustable autonomy and physical embodied intelligence, to openly discuss relevant issues, research and development progress, future directions and open challenges.

Since the primary goal is to foster the discussion about ideas related to the WS topics, we welcome contributions reporting on original, published, and ongoing work in the area.
