Affective Human-Machine Interaction

Workshop Details

Much like communications between humans, emotion is critical for the natural and harmonious Human-Robot interactions (HRI), especially for service robots and assistive robots. The special Session of Affective Human-Machine Interaction provides a platform for researchers from the interdisciplinary area that encompasses artificial intelligence, robot, human-computer interaction, psychology, computer science, engineering, neuroscience and linguistics to exchange ideas, frameworks, methods, and tools relating to Affective Human-Robot Interaction.

CALL FOR PAPERS special session on Affective Human-Robot Interaction at IAS2012 http://www.ias-12.org/sub/program/tp09.html http://www.ias-12.org/main/default.asp The days of the home service and personal robots entering into our daily life are coming soon. Much like communications between humans, emotion is critical for the natural and harmonious Human-Robot interactions (HRI), especially for service robots and assistive robots. The basic tenet behind affective human robot systems is that automatically recognizing and responding to a user's affective states during interactions, thereby enhancing the quality of the interaction and users’ psychological wellbeing. This special session provides a platform for researchers from the interdisciplinary area that encompasses artificial intelligence, robot, computer vision, human-computer interaction, psychology, computer science, engineering, neuroscience and linguistics to exchange ideas and to discuss the latest developments relating to Affective Human-Robot Interaction. Although the last decade has seen a great progress on affective computing and human-robot interaction, the theory and applications relevant to affective human-robot interaction still face many challenges. By providing a framework to discuss and evaluate novel research, we hope to leverage recent advances to speed-up future research in this area. Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to Affective Human Robot Interaction. Topics of interest may include (but are in no way limited to) • Affect detection from facial feature tracking, vocal cues, body language, and gestures • Affect detection from physiology and brain imaging • Multimodal affect detection • Computational models of emotion • Affect synthesis, including facial expressions, speech, gestures and other Modalities • Empathic robot • Strategies to help users regulate affect • Evaluating affect-aware human-robot interaction systems • Affective loop between human and robot Important Dates: Submission of Full Papers: January 31, 2012 Notification of Acceptance: March 15, 2012 Final Manuscript Submission: April 30, 2012
