ARSO is a single track conference, aiming to provide world class researchers, engineers, investors, economists, and representatives of industry and government with a forum to discuss cutting-edge robotics technologies, business opportunities, and other impacts on human society. Advanced Robots are expected in their promising applications into various services dedicated to our society. The robots must bring great impacts to the society positively and might do negatively. Those impacts should be considered and discussed from viewpoint of not only technical solution but also the social issues including safety, law, ethics, psychology and philosophy.

IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts (ARSO) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings  of this conference are likely to be indexed in  renowned databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Google Scholar, and many others.
