========================


The convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is driving a new
era of intelligent systems capable of interacting with the physical world
in increasingly sophisticated ways. At the heart of this transformation
lies Physical AI, namely the application of AI to systems that directly
engage with their environment through sensors and actuators. Physical AI
enables robots and devices to perceive, understand, and act upon complex,
dynamic, and often uncertain environments, making it a cornerstone of
modern robotics.

This workshop, BRAIN: “Behavioral Robotics and AI for iNdustrial and social
systems”, seeks to explore the role of Physical AI in shaping robotic
behaviors across different critical domains, including industrial
automation and social interaction. In industrial settings, Physical AI
drives precision, adaptability, and efficiency in tasks such as
manufacturing, logistics, and inspection. In social contexts, it empowers
robots to interpret human cues, respond empathetically, and engage in
meaningful interactions.

By focusing on behavioral robotics, the workshop emphasizes the integration
of perception, decision-making, and physical embodiment, which are key
elements for creating intelligent systems that are not only reactive but
also proactive and context-aware. AI plays a vital role in this process,
enabling robots to interpret sensory data, learn from experience, and adapt
their behavior in real time.

The International Workshop on BRAIN aims to provide a dedicated forum for
researchers, practitioners, and industry representatives to present and
discuss innovative contributions in this emerging field. The workshop seeks
to advance the state of the art in Physical AI, by bridging perception,
cognition, and action, the BRAIN workshop provides a good platform to
explore how pattern recognition enables intelligent behavior in physical
systems. It encourages interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers
in AI, robotics, and pattern recognition.
