Neurorobotics brings together interdisciplinary research in machine learning, robotics and bio-inspired artificial intelligence, most prominently using artificial neural networks. Following the understanding by building methodology, cognitive robotics employs neural models in robots that interact with and learn from complex and multimodal environments thus gaining their cognitive abilities. In connection with HRI, cognitive modeling represents a way to make robots more considerate and aware of people as well as make their behavior more legible and explainable and make interaction with robots smoother and more efficient promoting advances in HRI. After two successful Neurorobotics special session in ICANN 2023 and 2024 we are announcing the third edition of this session organized under the Horizon Europe project TERAIS. We want to bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds and expertise to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field of neurorobotics, cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction.
