CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE RO-MAN 2024 Special Session on “Human Modeling for Adaptive Interactions and Robot Autonomy”
Important Information:
Paper submission deadline: March 10th, 2024
Code of the special session: 248v8
Submissions should be made through the IEEE RO-MAN conference site on PaperCept: https://ras.papercept.net/
==============================
Aim
***
The growing reliability, efficiency, and computational capabilities of robotic platforms are pushing the design of innovative services that see robots acting and interacting with humans in both common-life and working scenarios. The effective use of robots in ecological environments is strictly connected to the capability of synthesizing safe and socially compliant robot behaviors as well as the skills, expectations, and needs of the humans they act or interact with. It is an emerging necessity to create human-mediated systems where a robot executes interactive or productive tasks autonomously under the human’s supervision, possibly requiring the (occasional) intervention of users. Human knowledge is expected to directly (e.g., through shared control and shared autonomy) or indirectly (e.g., through requisite specification) guide robot autonomy to realize behaviors that are in line with the desired domain objectives, safe and acceptable by involved human users. Furthermore, robots need models of behavioral dynamics, mental states, expectations, and intentions of humans to realize smooth and acceptable interactions by tailoring their general skills to the specific needs and features of users and social contexts. The design of effective models capable of characterizing physical, cognitive, and behavioral features of humans, and combining them with the control and interacting strategies of robots still pose open research challenges. In this respect, research should investigate novel technologies, and methodologies facilitating communication, and sharing knowledge among the different stakeholders (e.g., roboticists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, domain experts, and end-users). This special session, therefore, aims at fostering the dialogue among the different stakeholders involved in the design and deployment of novel human-mediated and socially aware robots with particular attention to the following topics: a) co-design and definition of requirements; b) modeling of human cognition and physical states as well as social dynamics; c) metrics and benchmarks to evaluate acceptability and efficacy of human-robot interactions; d) ethical regulations; e) hybrid approaches to improve legibility of robot behaviors and communication with humans in general. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the proposed Special Session and the scientific, technological, and ethical impact of such emerging human-robot interaction paradigms, it perfectly fits with the audience of RO-MAN and with the theme of the current edition focusing on Human-Centered HRI
Topics of interest (but not limited to)
******************
Here is a list of (some) relevant topics for the special session:o
Adaptive and Personalized Interaction with Human
Models of human behaviors, skills, and cognition, contextualized to Human-Robot Interaction
Methods and Protocols for Safe and effective robot autonomy in human-centered studies, including semi-autonomous approaches (e.g., shared control, shared autonomy)
Metrics for assessing custom human-robot interaction (e.g., based on the users’ preference, culture, and attitude, but not limited to)
Metrics to evaluate the acceptance and social compliance of semi-autonomous robot behaviors
Situation awareness and human intention recognition
Social navigation
Human-Aware Robot Behaviors
Theory of Mind and Cognitive Theories Applied to Robotics
Instructions for authors
***************
Papers submitted to the special sessions will undergo the same review process as the regular papers and will appear in the main conference proceedings if accepted.
Submissions should be made through the IEEE RO-MAN conference website on PaperCept: https://ras.papercept.net/.
Authors should specify the code of the special session when submitting their contributions (248v8).
A manuscript can be of 6-8 pages including references. For the final submission, a manuscript should be of 6 pages, with 2 additional pages allowed with an extra charge (TBA).
All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process.
Authors should use the templates provided by the electronic submission system. The templates for US Letter format paper should be used. Please use the following templates:
Templates: LaTeX or MSWord
