The session will be a good occasion for researchers with different backgrounds to share and learn about the challenges and opportunities of investigating group dynamics in HRI. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>We encourage submitting short papers (2-4 pages, deadline May 31st, 2024) presenting innovative strategies for exploring group-robot interactions. The contributions may include work in progress with preliminary results, technical reports, case studies, surveys, and state-of-the-art research. Accepted authors will have the opportunity to present their research during an interactive poster session. <b>The best poster will be awarded a 200$ reimbursement kindly granted by the Technical Committee for Cognitive Robotics.</b></div> <div><br> </div> <div>More information about the topics and the call for papers can be found on the workshop's website - https://ground-hri.github.io/workshop/. Contributions can be submitted through the EasyChair platform. </div> <div>To accommodate the different time zones of attendees, the workshop will be held in a hybrid format as a half-day afternoon session and recorded for later viewing.</div> <div><br> </div> <div><b>Lastly, we are organizing the Special Issue on Group-Robot Interaction in collaboration with the International Journal of Interaction Studies. Workshop authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their contribution to this prestigious venue.</b></div> <div><br> </div> <div>For any questions, please contact the organizers at workshop.ground@gmail.com. If you know someone who could be interested in this workshop, please do not hesitate to share this email with them. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>We look forward to meeting you at the workshop! </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Kind regards,</div> <div></div> <div><br> </div> <div>Ana Tanevska, on behalf of the GROUND workshop organizers </div> <p><br> </p> <div id="Signature"> <div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" dir="ltr" style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols"> <div> <div style="color:rgb(34,34,34); font-size:small; font-family:Tahoma"><span style="color:rgb(241,194,50)"><font size="2" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">---------------------------------------</font></span></div> <div style="color:rgb(34,34,34); font-size:small; font-family:Tahoma"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font size="2" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br> </font></span></div> <div style="color:rgb(34,34,34); font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:small"> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><font size="2">Dr. Ana Tanevska</font><font size="2"> (<span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)"><i>they/them</i></span>)<br> <br> </font></font></span></div> <div style="color:rgb(34,34,34); font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:small"> <font size="2"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><font style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Postdoctoral Researcher<br> </font><font color="#000000">Uppsala Social Robotics Lab</font><br> </font><font style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"> <div>Department of Information Technology</div> <div>Uppsala University, Sweden</div> <div><br> </div> <span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)">To find out more about pronouns and why I’m sharing mine, click <a href="https://bit.ly/3a8feOi" target="_blank" id="LPNoLP" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">here</a>.</span></font></font></font></div> </div> <br> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <!DOCTYPE html> <title>Page Title</title> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> När du har kontakt med oss på Uppsala universitet med e-post så innebär det att vi behandlar dina personuppgifter.
