The growing need to automate daily tasks, combined with new robot technologies,
is driving the development of a new generation of human-friendly robots, i.e.,
safe and dependable machines, operating in the close vicinity to humans or
directly interacting with them in a wide range of domains. The technological
shift from classical industrial robots, which are safely kept away from humans
in cages, to robots, which are used in close collaboration with humans, is
facing major challenges that need to be overcome.
The objective of the workshop is to bring together academic scientists,
researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and
research results on all aspects related to the introduction of robots into
everyday life. The workshop covers a wide range of topics related to
human-robot interaction, both physical and cognitive, including theories,
methodologies, technologies, empirical and experimental studies.
For the first time, the workshop is organized outside Europe with the aim of
creating a bridge between the different demographics on advancing the field of
human friendly robotic technologies.
We are pleased to announce the following confirmed plenary talks:
Bruno Siciliano, University of Naples Federico II, Italy, "Nonprehensile
manipulation of deformable objects: Achievements and perspectives from the
RoDyMan project"
Antonio Bicchi, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia/University of Pisa, Italy,
"From Human Robot Interaction to Human Robot Integration"
Yaochu Jin, University of Surrey, UK, "An evolutionary developmental
perspective of brain-like intelligence"
Sylvain Calinon, Idiap Research Institute, Switzerland, "Acquisition of robot
skills from few human demonstrations"
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
*Fundaments of human-friendly robots
1.mechatronic design
2.control methods for safe and adaptive interaction
3.interaction-based robot design
4.telerobotic systems
5.methods for physical and cognitive human-robot interaction
6.multimodal human-robot communication
7.human monitoring and intention recognition
8.cognitive modelling
9.adaptive interfaces
10.cooperative task execution and sliding autonomy
11.learning by demonstration
12.human factors
13.benchmarking and performance analysis
14.social and ethical issues
*Applications of human-friendly robots
1.medical and rehabilitation devices
2.prostheses and orthoses
3.robot assisted therapy
4.personal and entertainment robots
5.collaborative robots
6.social robots
7.human-robot interaction in hazardous environments.
*Social and Ethical Issues
The workshop is expected to be technically sponsored by IEEE Robotics and
Automation Society (RAS). Accepted papers will be archived in IEEE Xplore
Digital Library with EI indexing. Please visit the workshop website
