Dear Colleagues
We are acting as Guest Editors of an open-access article collection on
"Interaction in Robot-Assistive Elderly Care" in collaboration with the
journal "Frontiers in Robotics and AI".

==== Submission Deadlines ====
27 July 2020: Abstract
25 November 2020: Manuscript
==== Topical Area ====
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
. Measurement and observations of interactions between older adults and
human caregivers in elderly
care that can be used for robotics systems
. Robotic technologies that facilitate interaction between older adults
and human caregivers
. Supportive systems that facilitate interaction between older adults
and robots
. Physiological monitoring and biofeedback systems for elderly care that
have potential to install in
robotics systems
. Cognitive architecture of social robots for elderly care
. Novel and creative applications of social robots for elderly care
. Exploration of the design of interactions between social robots and
older adults
. Randomized controlled studies to investigate the effect of interaction
with a social robot on older
adults
. Field studies about interaction in robot-assistive elderly care
. Long-term studies about interactions between social robots and older
adults
==== Overview ====
This Research Topic aims to tackle scientific and technical advances in
methods, models, techniques, algorithms, and interaction design that
understand and facilitate both verbal non-verbal interaction (e.g.
facial expression, gestures, and touch) between older people and
caregivers/artificial systems.
In order to provide appropriate care, it is necessary to not only build
an interaction model for older people but also deeply investigate the
interactions between older adults and the caregiver. It is relevant to
apply this to the development of cognitive architectures for social
robots, and to the design of new ways of interaction between older
adults and robots for person-centered care.
We focus on not only the theoretical aspects but also practical
applications that address research issues related to verbal and/or
non-verbal interaction between older adults and robotic systems.
Particularly, we welcome contributions related to a measuring system to
understand person-centered care, novel architecture for a social robot
to achieve multimodal interaction with older adults and a design that
facilitates interaction between older adults and robots. Furthermore,
discussions of the ethical issues in elderly care with robotic systems
are welcome.
