Conference on Social Robots in Institutional Interaction: Exploring HRI in Service, Healthcare or Educational Contexts
2-3 April 2020
Bielefeld University
https://ekvv.uni-bielefeld.de/blog/soziologie/entry/call_for_papers_for_conference

Organizers: Indra Bock & Florian Muhle

Submission deadline: 10 January 2020

Humanoid robots and virtual agents are expected to interact with humans in a natural and sociable way. However, for many years humanoid technical systems were mainly used as research platforms in laboratories and HRI was investigated dominantly with experimental methods. That is, for a long time humans could only encounter robotic systems under artificial and controlled laboratory conditions, but not in natural situations. This has changed in recent years, since the first robotic systems made the leap into everyday life settings. Today, robots like Pepper, Nao or Care-O-bot have left the laboratories in order to work in various institutional environments such as health care, customer service or educational institutions, where they make contact with the public and staff.… read more. “Call: Conference on Social Robots in Institutional Interaction”
