Workshop, ICIRA 2016
The aim of workshops at ICIRA 2016 is to discuss cutting edge topics in robotics and related research fields from inter- and trans-disciplinary points of view. Therefore, workshops at ICIRA 2016 are open to the public (students, non-registered participants, etc.).
A paper of 4-12 pages with the same format as ICIRA2016 conference papers is acceptable to the workshops. Each submission will be peer-reviewed, the accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, which are independent from the conference proceedings. At least, one of author(s) of each paper must pay a regular or student registration of ICIRA 2016 by June 30.
- Deadline for Paper Submission: June 2, 2016
- Notification of Acceptance: June 16, 2016
- Early Bird Registration: June 30, 2016
- Deadline for Final Manuscripts: June 30, 2016
Workshop papers have to be submitted directly to the workshop organizer with the paper title, authors, affiliation, and e-mail address of contact person.
Title:
Workshop on Open Innovation and Incubation for Service Robots
Organizer:
Takenori Obo, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Takeo Ainoya, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Committee Members:
Keiko Kasamatsu, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Naoyuki Kubota, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Yasuchika Mori, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Naoyuki Takesue, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Introduction to the workshop:
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and companies active in advancing the technology for service robots to realize the open innovation and incubation. Recently, various types of service robots have been developed to realize care and assistance for people and natural communication with people, e.g., childhood education, elderly care, daily life assistance, and rehabilitation support. Such a robot should be adaptive for human-robot symbiosis in the surrounding environments including human and robot. This workshop focuses on issue of the demands for service robot manufacturing, such as how to customize a wide range of robot products, utilize service robots for improving the standard of living, and create the new needed robot markets. In this workshop, we hope that academic and industrial researchers will discuss activities to meet the new customer trends in order to start their future collaboration.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Platforms for service robots
- Application for service robots
- Physical design for service robots
- Modular robotics for service robots
- Human-centric robotics
- Community-centric robotics
- Human assistance robot system
Title:
Workshop on Community-centric Systems as Interdisciplinary Study
Organizer:
Yasufumi Takama, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
Introduction to the workshop:
The concept of community-centric system has been proposed to solve various kinds of problems in urban society, which includes disaster prevention, tourism, smart cities, and quality of life (QOL). Definitely, community-centric systems are one of hot research areas in which robotics is expected to play a crucial role.
Last year, we successfully held the International Workshop on Community Centric System (IWCcs2015, http://www.comp.sd.tmu.ac.jp/iwccs/), which was the first meeting on community centric systems. The workshop revealed it is an interdisciplinary study and robotics should collaborate with various research areas such as social big data analysis, signal processing as fundamental technologies for human computer interaction, health, welfare, and nursing care.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers to present and exchange ideas, results and experiences in the area related with community centric systems in a broad sense.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Fundamental technologies
- Social robotics
- Social big data
- Information recommendation
- Gesture recognition
- Speaker verification
- Multimodal interaction
- Affective computing
Applications
- Smart houses / city
- Quality of life
- Disaster prevention
- Green innovation
- Quality of community
- Community support in health, welfare, and care
