Call for Papers
The main topic of our workshop will be affective robotics for well-being, which aligns strongly with the ACII 2022 main theme of affective computing for mental and physical well-being  that invites research work that "utilises Affective Computing to address the negative consequences on mental and physical well-being brought about by the current challenging circumstances".

The main objective of this workshop is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers to identify and address key challenges for studying affective robotics for well-being and its relevant applications in the lab and in the field. The workshop aims at:
i) including the advances in affective computing and machine learning into social robotics context;
ii) investigating the crucial topic of well-being  in clinical and non-clinical contexts during a post-pandemic era; and
iii) advancing the field of affective computing applied to social robotics focusing on open challenges.

We invite authors to submit their contributions either as regular paper (6-8 pages long) or position papers (2-4 pages long), using the format provided by ACII (https://acii-conf.net/2022/calls/<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facii-conf.net%2F2022%2Fcalls%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cms2871%40universityofcambridgecloud.onmicrosoft.com%7C9f64eee6eaf44e177a8908da425b57d5%7C49a50445bdfa4b79ade3547b4f3986e9%7C0%7C0%7C637895257323477721%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Xz1JMcPrq%2BYdvw1yALnjZb91yiAK74JTnMouKpW1Kps%3D&reserved=0>).
