Workshop on Persuasive Embodied Agents for Behavior Change
Intelligent Virtual Agents conference 2017 (IVA2017)
27 August
Stockholm, Sweden
http://ii.tudelft.nl/peach2017

This workshop is a part of the International Conference on Intelligent Virtual agents (http://iva2017.org/). The workshop will take place on the day before the main conference (27th of August 2017).

Paper submission: July 19, 2017

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Persuasive embodied agents can play an active role in supporting people in changing their behavior, emotion, or attitude. These agents can be part of training systems, ehealth systems, or decision systems. They help people in establishing, reinforcing, or altering behaviors. Embodiment, such as in physical robots or graphical characters, can help to elicit social responses and make these systems more persuasive and accessible. Key in their interaction with individuals are therefore agents’ postures, gestures, and emotions, but also their conversational dialogue styles. Adaptiveness to users and situations is also pursued to strengthen their effectiveness in teaching individuals new skills or modifying their lifestyle.… read more. “Call: Workshop on Persuasive Embodied Agents for Behavior Change at IVA 2017”

INTRODUCTION

The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of life, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems using cutting edge technologies. This requires the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervention, interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment.… read more. “Call: Cyber-Physical Systems for Next Generation Networks (book chapters)”

WORKSHOP TOPIC

The field of robotics has rapidly advanced over the last decades and shown great promises in different fields. After robots were introduced in industry decades ago, advancements in robotic systems have enabled them to increasingly enter and affect our everyday lives. Nowadays, we see robotic systems being introduced as assistants, team-mates, care-takers, and companions, in diverse contexts such as education, health and eldercare, the home, and in search and rescue. This development has started the discussion on the emotional, ethical and societal consequences of the increasing confrontations and interactions between humans and robots.

Studies in human-robot interaction have shown that, when robots enter different contexts of our everyday lives, they can influence and change that particular context beyond its intended use purpose alone.… read more. “Call: The Mutual Shaping of Human-Robot Interaction – IEEE RO-MAN 2017 workshop”
