The 24th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive
Communication, Kobe International Conference Center, Kobe, Japan August 31
to Sep 3, 2015


We have decided to extend the deadline of a full paper for Ro-MAN2015 due to
several requests. The new submission deadline is February 23, 2015.

Conference Theme: Interaction with Socially Embedded Robots

Many types of robots have been developed to communicate with people. The
technologies to support the human-robot communication became the center of
attention in the research field of intelligent robotics. In contrast to the
technological advances, a robot needs to have a practical application such
as education, route guidance, rescue, entertainment, hospital care, home
care, military use, and so on to investigate the potential benefit of using
a communication robot in a real situation and to find further knowledge of
the nature of a socially embedded robot.

The theme of IEEE RO-MAN 2015 is "Interaction with Socially Embedded
Robots". We welcome papers related to the study of the robotic technology,
psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and Human-Robot
Interaction. In particular, we truly welcome papers focusing on the
technologies to achieve a socially embedded robot, the design of a robot to
apply it into a real application, the trial to use a robot in a practical
field, and the investigation of the socially acceptance of a robot. IEEE
RO-MAN 2015 will offer all of presenters and participants opportunities to
discuss and share your idea and opinion.

Paper Submission: Feb/23/2015
