CALL FOR PAPERS (apologies for multiple postings)
Workshop on "Robot Feedback in Human-Robot Interaction: How to Make a
Robot “Readable” for a Human Interaction Partner"
http://workshops.icts.sbg.ac.at/ro-man
at 21st IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive
Communication 2012
9th of September 2012 Paris, France
http://www.ro-man2012.org/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this one-day workshop we will discuss existing work on feedback a
robot may provide to a human interaction partner. In the gold-standard
of interpersonal communication, several feedback modalities are at work
which are well integrated and aligned with each other. To see how
feedback for robots could be designed to work equally well, first a
closer look on feedback as such is necessary. It basically refers to all
channels that conveying meaning, and is not at all limited to the verbal
utterances. On the one hand - depending on the robot and the scenario -
spoken feedback is indeed often very prominent and important. However,
it can possibly be enhanced by adding other modalities to make the robot
more ”readable”. On the other hand, there are situations in which verbal
feedback may not be the best solution.
The primary audience of the workshop are researchers in the field of
advanced interfaces. In particular researchers working on social
robotics, robot feedback in HRI, and measurement and evaluation
approaches will be interested in this workshop. Although no particular
skills are required, basic knowledge of feedback modalities, HRI design
and evaluation issues is recommended.
*Important dates*
Deadline for submission: 02.07.2012 (extended)
Feedback to authors: 16.07.2012
Workshop at Ro-Man: 09.09.2012
*Workshop topics*
Submissions are invited addressing one or more of the following questions:
1. What kind of feedback could be useful for a robot to provide?
2. What makes a robot’s feedback “readable” for a human?
3. What are the pros and cons of the individual feedback modalities?
4. How can single modalities be combined into more powerful combinations?
5. What kind of feedback is most helpful?
6. Is there a difference between different kinds of robots regarding
what feedback they should provide?
7. Does the environment or context influence the feedback situation?
*Guidelines for submission*
Workshop candidates are requested to send a position paper (no longer
than 4 A4 pages) until 02.07.2012 about viewpoints, positions, a
theoretical concept, a study etc., they have been involved in (related
to the topics described above) to [log in to unmask] All position
papers must be submitted in PDF format and conform to conference
proceedings specifications. Participants will be selected on the basis
of the relevance of their work and their interests and familiarity with
the topic.
