Introduction

The recent trend toward developing a new generation of robots that can participate in our lives and exist in human environments has introduced the need for investigating the paradigms, techniques, and technologies for the interaction between people and robots.

The IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS invites you to submit papers in this field, in response to a call for a Special Issue devoted to Human-Robot Interaction.

Scope, description and more information

Regular and short papers for this Special Issue should be submitted in the usual way to T-RO (see details on www.ieee-ras.org/tro/for_authors). Essentially, papers (in PDF) should be submitted by FTP to the site address ftp://ftp.dis.uniroma1.it/pub/ieeetro/incoming. The cover page of the paper should contain the paper title, authors’ names and full addresses, abstract, keywords (index terms), and paper type (Regular Paper, Short Paper). The corresponding author should be clearly indicated. A submission letter has to be sent by email to ieeetro@dis.uniroma1.it including (as plain text in the message) all information contained in the cover page of the paper and the name of the uploaded file(s). In the submission email, please specify that the paper is intended for the Special Issue on Human-Robot Interaction.

T-RO considers also multimedia material (typically, videos) accompanying the submission of a paper. Instructions on the preparation of this material can be found on www.ieee-ras.org/tro/for_authors. Multimedia will appear side-by-side to the accepted paper in the electronic version of the Special Issue within IEEE Xplore.

The Call for Papers is going to be published also in the June 2006 issue of T-RO, as well as in the July 2006 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering (T-ASE) and in the September 2006 issue of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine (RAM).
