consequences. Such personal
relationships are increasingly attracting attention from scientific fields
as (social) robotics, humancomputer
interaction, artificial intelligence, psychology, philosophy, sociology.
Researchers, students and practitioners from all segments of the human-robot
personal interaction
community are invited to submit works and proposals related (but not
limited) to the topics

robot emotions

gender approaches
affective approaches
psychological approaches
sociological approaches
roboethics
philosophical approaches
human-robot societies
case studies
*Submissions
Submissions can have any of the following forms:
original papers & position papers (4-8 pages, published in proceedings)
