We are interested in submissions of original HRI and Social Robotics research, or research in related fields relevant to the topic of “Human-Machine Affective Coordination”. The submissions, in the form of an abstract (min 800, max 1000 words), should be related to the investigation of one or more specific aspects of emotional and empathic HRI (e.g. theoretical, epistemological, applicative, social, ethical aspects) within the context of HRI, Social Robotics or related fields. In particular, they should present original research works dealing with questions such as:
- What are emotions and empathy for a robot? Which conditions are required in order for them to be able to participate competently in emotional and empathic dynamics with human beings?
