Robotics embedded in our built environment will increasingly support and augment everyday work, school, entertainment, and leisure activities. Archibots, a full-day workshop at Ubicomp, aims to identify opportunities and challenges in research and education in the emerging area of “Architectural Robotics” – intelligent and adaptable physical environments at all scales.

The notion of Architectural Robotics includes:
• specific applications (e.g., work, health, play, elderly, disabled, children).
• re-configurable and modular robotics in buildings, public places, furniture…
• sociological and psychological implications of architectural robotics.
• programming buildings that sense, infer, and respond to human needs.
• intelligent building structures and systems with embedded robotics.
• the software and hardware infrastructure needed to realize archibots.
• teaching and learning architectural robotics.
