Fourth Companion Robotics Workshop, Brussels, Belgium

The Fourth Companion Robotics Workshop will take place on 30 September 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.

This fourth research workshop in a series continues a focus on research challenges relating to the adoption, integration and adaptation of companion robots as socially-aware assistive devices at home, or at work for enhanced life/work-style support, comfort and societal benefits.

Speeches will deal with the overall thematic framework of companion robotics design and integration research challenges. Topics are set to include:
- Human-robot communication, robotic dexterity and spatio-temporal reasoning,
- Robot cooperativity and coordinative capability to support teamwork,
- Robot sociability: process integration, social acceptability and appropriation patterns,
- Robot learning capability,
- Future internet of people, robots, things and services sociality,
- Companion robotics, technological convergence and integration requirements,
- Dynamic usability relationship based evaluation of assistive technologies.
