Call for Papers, Workshops & Tutorials

The PDF version of CFP is available from here.

Hard experiences including large-scale disasters, social unrest and the pandemic have forced us to think about humanity. Humanity is compassion for others, which leads to activities to make the world comfortable for others, and as a result, ourselves. We wish that humanoid robots will be artifacts that not only resemble humans but also embody humanity. Open questions for such humanoid robots include what functionalities and capabilities are needed to achieve such goals and what should be the design criteria for their bodies, their information processes, and their behavior. The conference will provide a place for discussions about technologies that enable humanoid robots to go out in our world and have a positive impact, supported by gradually increasing social acceptance.

The conference invites paper contributions and workshop/tutorial proposals, which are expected to be related with but not limited to:

• Materials, devices, and mechanisms for humanoids

• Hardware design criteria for anthropomorphism

• Kinematics and dynamics computation theory

• Whole-body control for locomotion and manipulation

• Sensing, perception, and cognition of body and world

• Theory and techniques for adaptation and learning

• Informatics and architecture for behavior synthesis

• Teleoperation and telepresence using humanoids

• Measuring, modeling and simulating humans

• Human science through humanoid robots

• Interfaces between humanoid robots and humans

• Cyborgs, prostheses, and assistive devices for humans

• Application case studies of humanoid robots in society

Accepted papers will be presented either at a single track oral session or during poster sessions. All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of the conference and on IEEE Xplore without distinction.

For submissions of original contributions, refer the Paper submission page.

For submissions of workshop/tutorial proposals, refer the Workshop and Tutorial submission page.
