CALL FOR PAPERS, SPECIAL SESSIONS, and WORKSHOPS/TUTORIALS
Conference theme: Human-Robot Collaboration and Human Assistance for an Improved Quality of Life
The 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, RO-MAN 2017, will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from August 28 to September 1, 2017. This symposium is a leading forum where state-of-the-art innovative results, the latest developments as well as future perspectives relating to robot and human interactive communication are presented and discussed. The conference covers a wide range of topics related to Robot and Human Interactive Communication, involving theories, methodologies, technologies, empirical and experimental studies. Papers related to the study of the robotic technology, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, human factors, interaction-based robot design and other topics related to human-robot interaction are welcome.
REGULAR PAPERS
Authors should submit their papers electronically in PDF format via Papercept In order to guarantee a high quality peer review process, all papers are typically reviewed by three qualified independent reviewers, at least by two, using a single-blind review process. Two types of presentation can be selected:
Oral or Poster Presentations
Both types of presentations require a full regular paper submission. For the first submission, a manuscript can be of 6-8 pages. For the final submission, a manuscript should be of 6 pages, with 2 additional pages allowed but at an extra charge. Authors can freely propose an oral or poster presentation for their submitted paper. The Program Committee will inform the authors about the type of presentation for accepted papers.
