Submission deadline: February 25, 2019
Social robots not only work with humans in collaborative workspaces but also follow us into much more personal settings like home and health care. Does this imply that social robots should be able to interpret and adequately respond to human emotions? Should they simulate emotions?
The workshop covers the phenomenon of social robots from the historic roots over today’s best practices to future perspectives. Thus, it is interdisciplinary: we welcome contributions not only from computer scientists, but also researchers from disciplines like psychology, medicine, law, history, and the arts and humanities.
DEADLINE: February 25, 2019
PUBLICATION: The workshop papers will be part of the PETRA proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library.… read more. “Call: 2nd ACM PETRA Workshop on Social Robots: A Workshop on the Past, the Present and the Future of Digital Companions”
