This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Robotics, ICR 2023, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, during October 25-29, 2023. The 33 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: focused the foundations and means of collaborative behavior of one or more robots physically interacting with hu-mans in operational environments configured with embedded sensor networks and cloud services under uncertainty and environmental variability.
