The 4-volume set LNAI 13455 - 13458 constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications, ICIRA 2022, which took place in Harbin China, during August 2022. The 284 papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 442 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Robotics, Mechatronics, Applications, Robotic Machining, Medical Engineering, Soft and Hybrid Robots, Human-robot Collaboration, Machine Intelligence, and Human Robot Interaction.

This volume presents the proceedings of the Joint International Conference of the 13th IFToMM International Symposium on Science of Mechanisms and Machines (SYROM) & the XXV International Conference on Robotics (ROBOTICS), held in Iasi, Romania, on November 17–18, 2022. It brought together researchers, scientists and industry experts involved in the area of mechanisms, mechanical transmissions, robotics and mechatronics, to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields. The book presents original high-quality contributions on topics such as theoretical and computational kinematics, mechanism design, experimental mechanics, dynamics of machinery and multi-body systems, mechanisms for biomechanics, mechanical transmissions, linkages and mechanical controls, micromechanisms, serial and parallel robots, mobile and collaborative robots, micro and nano robots, sensors and actuators, medical robots, haptics, and virtual reality.

The two-volume proceedings set LNAI 14338 and 14339 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Speech and Computer, SPECOM 2023, held in Dharwad, India, during November 29–December 2, 2023. The 94 papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 174 submissions. They focus on all aspects of speech science and technology: ​automatic speech recognition; computational paralinguistics; digital signal processing; speech prosody; natural language processing; child speech processing; speech processing for medicine; industrial speech and language technology; speech technology for under-resourced languages; speech analysis and synthesis; speaker and language identification, verification and diarization.

This book gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of space robots as presented at the International Conference on Robots for Space Applications in Orbital Stations (TORVEASTRO), held in Rome, Italy on April 20-21, 2023. Topics addressed include history of space and robotics, bio-inspired space robotics, grasping, handling and intelligent manipulation, kinematics and dynamics, navigation & motion planning, robot vision and control, human-machine interfaces, new designs and prototypes, humanoid astronaut robots, and service space robots.

This book constitutes thoroughly refereed and revised selected best and visionary papers from the Workshops held at the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems AAMAS 2022, which took place online, during May 9–13, 2022. The 5 best papers and 4 visionary papers included in this book stem from the following workshops: - 13th Workshop on Optimization and Learning in Multi-agent Systems (OptLearnMAS);- 23rd Workshop on Multi-Agent Based Simulation (MABS);- 6th Workshop on Agent-Based Modelling of Urban Systems (ABMUS);- 10th Workshop on Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS);- 1st Workshop on Rebellion and Disobedience in AI (RaD-AI). There was a total of 59 submissions to these workshops.
