Summary

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Social Robotics, ICSR 2010, held in Singapore, in November 2010.The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in design philosophies and software architectures for robotics; social acceptance for human-robot interaction; learning, adaptation and evolution of robot intelligence; mechatronics and intelligent control; HRI in assistive technologies for people with special needs; affective and cognitive sciences for interactive robots; and interaction and collaboration.
