We haveidentified three focus areas to examine robotics and au-tonomous systems within our call for papers that are eachcovered by an inspiring keynote and four oral presentationsfrom authors of accepted papers: The focus area robotics foruse in the home considers aspects of rapid prototyping, safety,assisted living, rehabilitation robotics, technology acceptance,and diverse user groups. Keynote speaker Prof. Ana Paiva (In-stituto Superior T´ecnico, University of Lisbon and coordinatorof GAIPS at INESC-ID) will talk about the engineering ofsociality and collaboration between humans and robots. The oral paper presentations in this area are Exploring Human-Dog Attachment Behaviours and their Translation to a Robotic
