CFP Special Issue on Socially Acceptable Robot Behavior: Approaches for Learning, Adaptation and Evaluation

November 16th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Special Issue on

Socially Acceptable Robot Behavior: Approaches for Learning, Adaptation and Evaluation

in Interaction Studies

I. Aim and Scope

A key factor for the acceptance of robots as regular partners in human-centered environments is the appropriateness and predictability of their behavior. The behavior of human-human interactions is governed by customary rules that define how people should behave in different situations, thereby governing their expectations. Socially compliant behavior is usually rewarded by group acceptance, while non-compliant behavior might have consequences including isolation from a social group. Making robots able to understand human social norms allows for improving the naturalness and effectiveness of human-robot interaction and collaboration. Since social norms can differ greatly between different cultures and social groups, it is essential that robots are able to learn and adapt their behavior based on feedback and observations from the environment.

This special issue in Interaction Studies aims to attract the latest research aiming at learning, producing, and evaluating human-aware robot behavior, thereby, following the recent RO-MAN 2021 Workshop on Robot Behavior Adaptation to Human Social Norms (TSAR) in providing a venue to discuss the limitations of the current approaches and future directions towards intelligent human-aware robot behaviors.

II. Submission

  1. Before submitting, please check the official journal guidelines.
  2. For paper submission, please use the online submission system.
  3. After logging into the submission system, please click on “Submit a manuscript” and select “Original article”.

  • Learning of socially accepted behavior
  • Behavior adaptation based on social feedback
  • Transfer learning of social norms experience
  • The role of robot appearance on applied social norms
  • Perception of socially normative robot behavior
  • Human-aware collaboration and navigation
  • Social norms and trust in human-robot interaction
  • Representation and modeling techniques for social norms
  • Metrics and evaluation criteria for socially compliant robot behavior

III. Timeline

AI4Media – Open Call #1 – Apply now for up to €50.000 in funding!

November 16th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise
This is Dr. Ioannis Mademlis from the Aristotle University of 
Thessaloniki, Greece. We are a partner in the EU-funded AI4Media 
project, which aims to become a Centre of Excellence in European AI by 
engaging a wide network of researchers across Europe and beyond, 
focusing on delivering the next generation of core AI advances and 
training to serve the Media sector.

AI4Media has recently launched its first open call ( 
https://www.ai4media.eu/open-call-1/ ), which will provide equity-free 
funding for research and applications in AI for Media. The objective 
of the open call is to engage entrepreneurs, companies (e.g., SMEs, 
mid-caps) and researchers that regularly develop and integrate applied 
research in the field of AI, to develop new research and applications 
for AI in the Media sector, and contribute to the enrichment of the 
available pool of research and technological tools.

The open call targets two types of projects, divided into Research and 
Application tracks. Funded projects, which must address one of the 
defined challenges, will receive up to €50.000 each and run for 12 and 
9 months, respectively. Additional benefits include access to 
market-driven services, business and/or research support, and 
visibility and promotion.

If this sounds like an interesting opportunity and your research 
and/or business activities are aligned with the scope of the open 
call, we encourage you to submit your proposal until 1 December 2021 
(17h00 CET)!

I attach a leaflet for your consideration. For complete information 
about the open call, please visit the AI4Media website at

Convocatoria que puede ser de interés

November 15th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Avatares de la Comunicación y la Cultura, la revista académica de la Carrera de Ciencias de la Comunicación de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina), invita a participar de su dossier temático Nro. 23, titulado:

 “Comunicación y Museos: proyectos y desafíos en torno a las mediaciones culturales y educativas”

Coordinadoras: Mirta Amati, Mariana Landau, Andrea S. Pegoraro


Recepción de artículos: hasta el 20 de diciembre de 2021

Fecha de publicación: Junio de 2022

Presentación de la convocatoria:

Los museos son instituciones al servicio del desarrollo de la sociedad y de las personas que la integran. Los objetos que estas instituciones conservan, documentan, investigan y difunden conforman colecciones que dan cuentan de la cultura material de los distintos grupos de una comunidad, región o país. El medio privilegiado para cumplir con estas funciones es la exposición, ya sea de carácter permanente o temporario. En estos espacios se combinan el disfrute, el estudio y la educación.

En la actualidad, la definición de museo del ICOM (Consejo Internacional de Museos) está siendo revisada acorde a los valores, conflictos y desafíos del presente y el futuro: la inclusión y la accesibilidad, la igualdad regional y mundial, la diversidad y el diálogo crítico, el multiculturalismo, la interculturalidad, la democracia y la justicia social, la crítica feminista y la decolonial, entre otros. En consecuencia, los museos contemporáneos están renovando sus funciones y áreas siguiendo nuevos paradigmas museológicos.

El estudio de los museos está ligado a múltiples disciplinas y campos de conocimiento como la Museología, la Psicología, la Antropología, las Artes, la Pedagogía y la Comunicación, entre otras. Además, está articulado con los nuevos paradigmas de cada disciplina que definen la tipología de museos: (bellas) artes / arte moderno, historia, antropología, ciencias naturales, etc. Asimismo, diversas corrientes como la “nueva museología”, la nueva comunicación y los estudios culturales conviven con la discusión en torno a las metas y modalidades de funcionamiento de los museos.

El campo de la comunicación ha incorporado, tanto en la formación curricular como en la investigación y la extensión, diferentes dimensiones que aportan al estudio de los museos. Los tiempos de “memorabilia”, pero también la presencia de las redes sociales, la educación virtual y la “pospandemia” nos llevan a considerar las redefiniciones de las exhibiciones, las estrategias de difusión del patrimonio, los cambios en el coleccionismo, la autoridad y la propiedad de los objetos, las lógicas de financiamiento y sustentabilidad, la relación con los nuevos públicos y la comunidad, los nuevos movimientos sociales y los grupos minoritarios que reclaman y cuestionan esas concepciones.

En ese marco, convocamos a la presentación de artículos que comuniquen los resultados de investigaciones y/u observaciones analíticas de intervenciones en museos, y ensayos académicos que permitan reflexionar sobre diferentes aspectos, abordajes, perspectivas y desafíos desde el campo de los estudios en comunicación, los estudios culturales, las ciencias de la educación, entre otros.
 

También se reciben trabajos para las secciones “Aportes al campo Comunicación/Cultura” y “Reseñas bibliográficas”.
