Shaping the Future Together with Robots
From August 25鈥�29, RO-MAN 2025 takes place in Eindhoven, exploring how humans and robots can shape a hybrid future through collaboration and interaction.
This year, the annual IEEE RO-MAN conference - an international platform for research on human-robot interaction - will be held in Eindhoven. From August 25 to 29, the Eindhoven University of Technology will host researchers, participants from robotics companies, designers, educators, and professionals from around the world. The conference offers space to share insights, methodologies, and technologies that support collaboration between humans and robots.
Human and Robot
The 2025 theme, Shaping our hybrid future with robots together, invites reflection on the role of robots in our society. Rather than replacing humans, robots are envisioned as complementary team members. Participants will explore how robots can develop social skills and how interaction models can support effective teamwork. The conference encourages forward-thinking about a future where humans and robots work together with greater productivity, efficiency, and enjoyment.
Honored Role
This year鈥檚 edition is organized by an international team, led by the general chair Emilia Barakova, of the department Industrial Design. She has long been active at the intersection of technology and social interaction.
It is an honor to organize this edition of RO-MAN. The trust placed in us is motivating, and I look forward to shaping an inspiring program with the great team of exceptional researchers.
