The 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive

Communication, Kobe International Conference Center, Kobe, Japan August 31

to Sep 4, 2015

First Call for Papers

Conference Theme: Interaction with Socially Embedded Robots

Many types of robots have been developed to communicate with people. The

technologies to support the human-robot communication became the center of

attention in the research field of intelligent robotics. In contrast to the

technological advances, a robot needs to have a practical application such

as education, route guidance, rescue, entertainment, hospital care, home

care, military use, and so on to investigate the potential benefit of using

a communication robot in a real situation and to find further knowledge of

the nature of a socially embedded robot.

The theme of IEEE RO-MAN 2015 is "Interaction with Socially Embedded

Robots". We welcome papers related to the study of the robotic technology,

psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and Human-Robot

Interaction. In particular, we truly welcome papers focusing on the

technologies to achieve a socially embedded robot, the design of a robot to

apply it into a real application, the trial to use a robot in a practical

field, and the investigation of the socially acceptance of a robot. IEEE

RO-MAN 2015 will offer all of presenters and participants opportunities to

discuss and share your idea and opinion.
