How do they impact human work and our understanding of social relationships and societal values? Complex organizational work is needed to make robot fleets run smoothly and bring forward societal concerns about care\, safety and responsibility. Join the WASP-HS conference AI for Humanity and Society 2026 themed “Robots and Autonomous Systems in Everyday Life”.  \nRobots and autonomous systems have left the laboratories and are now entering homes\, schools\, hospitals and public spaces. They are becoming part of everyday life. Being a material and mobile manifestation of artificial intelligence\, robots raise new questions about autonomy and agency in relationships with individuals. \nThis year’s conference\, Robots and Autonomous Systems in Everyday Life\, will explore how individuals\, organizations\, and societies are impacted when robots enter our daily life\, shedding light on how humans work to make autonomous systems at home in the world. WASP-HS welcomes researchers\, industry leaders\, policymakers\, and civil society to come together to make sense of emerging developments and to discuss agendas for humane futures with autonomous systems and AI. Through panels\, keynotes and an interactive reception\, we will engage with topics such as coordination and interaction with robots as a form of embodied AI\, robots in education\, regulatory and policy issues related to autonomous systems\, as well as the roles robots and autonomous systems may play in care and crisis. \nThe WASP-HS AI for Humanity and Society 2026 conference fosters human-centered perspectives on robots and autonomous systems\, offering a space to examine emerging challenges and to jointly imagine possible futures — where robots and autonomous systems can foster human relationships\, contribute to inclusive public spaces\, and stimulate meaningful work. We warmly welcome you to join us in Linköping at Mjärdevi Science Park (Teknikringen 7) on November 10–11\, 2026. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Keynotes\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Steve Benford\n					\n					Dunford Professor of Computer Science\, University of Nottingham And UKRI Turing AI World Leading Research Fellow \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Janet Vertesi\n					\n					Associate Professor\, Princeton University and Associate Director of the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Preliminary Conference Program\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, November 10\n12:00 Registration opens \n13:00–13:15 Welcome and introduction \n13:15–14:00 Panel 1: Coordinating Human and Robot Bodies \n14:15–15:00 Panel 2: Educational Robots and AI \n15:00–15:30 Coffee Break \n15:30–16:15 Opening Keynote: Steve Benford \n16:30–18:30 Interactive Reception \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, November 11\n08:30 Registration opens \n09:00–9:15 Welcome and Opening \n09:15–10:00 Panel 3: Policy and Regulation of Robots \n10:00–10:15 Coffee Break \n10:30–11.15 Panel 4: Robots and AI in Care and Crisis \n11:15-12:00 Closing Keynote: Janet Vertesi \n12:00-12:15 Closing and announcement of 2027 conference \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration\nRegistration opens September 8. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Conference Chairs\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Hannah Pelikan\n					\n					Assistant Professor at Linköping University and a Pro Futura Scientia Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study. \n					\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Airi Lampinen\n					\n					Associate Professor in Human–Computer Interaction at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University.
