This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Interactive Collaborative Robotics, ICR 2019, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2019.

The 32 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. They deal with challenges of human-robot interaction; robot control and behavior in social robotics and collaborative robotics; and applied robotic and cyber-physical systems.
