The 10th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Robotics (ICR 2025) is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of Le Quy Don Technical University. The International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Robotics (ICR) was established as a satellite event of the International Conference on Speech and Computer (SPECOM) in 2016. The conference gathers together experts from different communities to discuss challenges of human and robot collaboration in industrial, social, medical, education and other areas. Fundamentals and means for collaborative behavior of one or multiple robots with physical interaction with people in operational environment equipped with embedded sensor networks and cloud services in conditions of uncertainty and environmental variability are the main issues of the conference. The accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Interactive Collaborative Robotics conference in English in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence book series published by Springer, indexed in EI-Compendex, SCOPUS (Q2) and Springerlink.

Plenary Speech 1: Fundamental Problems of Autonomous Functioning and Physical Interaction of Robot Groups.
Abstract: This article reviews key challenges and approaches in enhancing the autonomy of robotic systems across diverse environments. We focus on three fundamental problems: autonomous navigation in GPS-denied conditions, dexterous physical manipulation of objects, and collaborative control of heterogeneous robotic groups. For each area, we analyze current methods, including semantic scene analysis, optimized gripper design, and hybrid swarm-hierarchical control algorithms. The review covers robotic platforms for ground, aerial, surface, and underwater operations, concluding with an overview of systems developed at SPC RAS and ICS RAS for the intertwined challenges of navigation, manipulation, and collaboration is crucial for advancing the operational autonomy of robotic systems in unstructured environments.

Plenary Speech 2: A Kangaroo-inspired Large-scale Swarm of Mobile Robots as the First Responder in Emergency - Hierarchical Distributed Control Approach.
Abstract: It is very risky for firefighters to search and rescue victims in fire-damaged buildings. The risks can be minimized if they know what is happening inside the building prior to carrying out their mission with the old-fashioned technology that they have used for the last 50 years. A Kangaroo-inspired large-scale multi-robot system consisting of a mothership and child robots will serve as a team of first responders in emergency. The heterogeneous swarm can be rapidly deployed and dispersed for exploration, coverage, and victim identification and a "life-path" generated by an ad-hoc network of mobile robots is maintained during rescue operation. I will present the hierarchical distributed control strategy consisting of distributed node control for connectivity maintenance and distributed connectivity control for connectivity minimization and global network integrity. Finally, I will demonstrate the viability of the concept of homogeneous and heterogenous swarm of mobile robots through simulation and real-world experiments.

Plenary Speech 3: Robotics in Construction: advances, examples and what's next?
Abstract: The emergence of robotics and AI has been advancing fast and is considered as the future of the construction industry. Technologies including visualization and digital twin, additive manufacturing, robotic cooperation and deep learning will be manifesting to transform the civil and infrastructure sector, making tomorrow's construction safer, more efficient and more environmentally sustainable. Embracing robotic autonomous systems and AI-powered technologies will significantly enhance construction performance and safety, in such tasks like 3D-printing, demolition waste management, progress monitoring, inspection and maintenance. This talk will provide a brief overview of advances in construction robotics, introduce some typical examples and outline what's next for automation and robotics in construction.

Plenary Speech 4: A Method of Positional-Force Control of an Underwater Manipulator.
Abstract: The article is devoted to solving the problem of developing a method for constructing positional-force control systems for electric drives (ED) of multi-link underwater manipulators (UM) mounted on autonomous underwater vehicles operating in the mode of landing on the ground or on work sites. To solve this problem, a comprehensive method is proposed. First, for an ED of each degree of freedom of the UM, a self-adjusting correction device is constructed, which makes it possible to stabilize the variable dynamic parameters of this ED at a given nominal level. This stabilization compensates for the influence of Coulomb and viscous frictions, the interactions between the UM links and influence of a viscous medium, on the quality of control. Then, for each ED sliding observers are constructed, which make it possible to obtain information about the current values of the external torques, speeds and accelerations of rotation of the output shafts of all ED. Using this information and measurements of only position sensors of the specified ED, it is possible to construct position-force regulators for them that minimize the selected quadratic cost function. This minimization makes it possible to ensure not only the precise movement of the UM tool along specified spatial trajectories in the presence of significant impacts from the viscous medium, but also to create the required force effects on underwater work objects when performing various technological operations. The operability and effectiveness of the constructed positional-force control systems is confirmed by the results of computer modeling.
