Research in cognitive robotics is concerned with endowing robots with higher level cognitive functions that enable them to reason, act and have conceptual understanding of the world like humans. For example, such robots must be able to reason about goals, actions, when to perceive and what to look for while they autonomously explore their environment and
determine which are the important features that need to be considered for making a decision. They should also understand the cognitive states of other agents required for collaborative task execution, do dialogue exchange with other agents if they do not understand instructions and can enhance itself quickly by learning new behaviour automatically from the observations of a dynamic environment. In short, cognitive robotics is concerned with integrating AI, perception, reasoning, human-robot interactions, continual learning, and action with a theoretical and implementation framework. Such frameworks will have a big role to play in Service Robotics, Enterprise Robotics and Industry 4.0 which aims to revolutionalize current industrial automation through the use of technologies such as Cloud Computing, IOT, additive manufacturing, robotics and Artificial Intelligence. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers involved in all aspects of the theory and implementation of cognitive robots, and discussing current work and future directions..
