Summary:
AI-empowered robots are increasingly required to operate in complex and dynamic environments, including assistive services, elderly care, rehabilitation training, industrial production, inspection, emergency response, and special robotic applications. Recent advances in multimodal perception, vision-language interaction, knowledge-driven reasoning, edge intelligence, and autonomous operation provide new opportunities for robots to understand human intentions, adapt to changing scenarios, and perform reliable navigation, manipulation, and task execution. This special session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on AI-enabled robotic systems across service, assistive, rehabilitation, industrial, and special robot domains. Topics of interest include multimodal perception, human-robot interaction, gesture and skeleton-based control, autonomous navigation, robotic manipulation, visual question answering, knowledge-guided decision-making, out-of-distribution generalization, continual learning, edge deployment, and open robotic platforms. The session will provide a forum for discussing both algorithmic advances and practical system integration, promoting the development of intelligent robots that are adaptive, interactive, and deployable in real-world applications.
