Call for Papers

HRI4Wellbeing: The 2nd Workshop on Human-Robot Interaction for Wellbeing: Applications in the Real World
Co-located with IEEE RO-MAN 2023: 32nd IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication
Paradise Hotel, Busan, Korea and Online
August 28, 2023
Workshop: https://hri4wellbeing.github.io/
RO-MAN 2023: http://ro-man2023.org/

Submission deadline: June 15, 2023

The main topic of our workshop will be robotic applications for wellbeing in the real world, which is strongly in line with the RO-MAN 2023 theme of “Design a New Bridge for H-R-I”, which seeks to address the challenges of developing intelligent robots for human health. Robots are becoming more prevalent in our society for task-oriented goals (e.g., cleaning the house, cooking a meal) and social-oriented interactions such as companionship, assistance, and coaching. We expect robots to share our daily lives in our homes, workplaces, and public spaces.

This workshop’s main goal is to bring together a multidisciplinary community to identify and overcome major challenges in HRI research to investigate the applications of robots for wellbeing in the real world.

We invite authors to submit their contributions either regular paper (6-8 pages long) or position papers (2-4 pages long), using the format provided by RO-MAN (http://ro-man2023.org/paperSubmission/callForPapers).

The full Call for Papers, including instructions for the submissions, can be found on EasyChair.
