Submission Instructions
We welcome submissions from all at the intersection of sound and robotics. Participants are encouraged to share artifacts, work, and demonstrations that provide unique perspectives on this research space, and may apply for as many submission formats as desired.
Format
All written submissions should be formatted similarly to the main ICRA 2022 conference papers. Templates for this format can be found via the IEEE website.
Submission
Please email Brian Zhang (zhangbr@oregonstate.edu) with your submission by the submission deadlines.
For each type of submission, further details are listed below:
Hardware Demonstrations
Prospective participants who would like to add speaker functionality to their own robots and create a demonstration may submit a proposal. Submissions may be up to 2 pages long and should describe the target robot and demonstration. Details on the available USB, audio (3.5mm and I2S), and power (5V, 12V, 24V) peripherals are very important. As an example, a robot may have available:
2 USB ports (onboard computer)
A 3.5mm headphone jack (onboard computer)
1A at 5V, 2A at 12V (onboard power supply), no 24V
UART, I2C, SPI, no I2S (onboard microcontroller)
Please provide as much information as possible on the above. Proposals will be scored on relevance to the workshop theme, quality, and completeness.
Accepted proposals will receive a package from the workshop organizers containing hardware and guidance to assemble and mount suitable speakers to their robots for their demonstration. Authors of accepted proposal authors will be expected to participate in surveys regarding their experience, to provide a live or recorded demonstration at the workshop, and to engage in a brief discussion afterwards.
Artifacts
Prospective participants who would like to provide a performance, video, activity, or demonstration may submit a proposal for an artifact. Submissions may be up to 2 pages long and should include describe the artifact, the anticipated time required, and any equipment needed. A video (up to 10 minutes long) that showcases the artifact is highly encouraged and can be included in the submission as a link. Submissions will be scored based on their relevance to the workshop theme, novelty, quality, and feasibility.
Authors of accepted submissions will be expected to present their artifact during the workshop and participate in a brief discussion afterwards. We highly encourage artifacts that may spur interaction with the audience.
Papers
Prospective participants who would like to present their work at the workshop may submit an extended abstract. Submissions should be between 2 and 4 pages, not counting references. Submissions will be scored based on their relevance to the workshop theme, novelty, and quality. Some ideas for submissions include (but are not limited to):
Sound design for robots
Methods for making or recording sound for robots
Concepts and frameworks on how robots may use or interact with sound
Studies on the effects of robot sound
Systems and toolkits for sound for robots
Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session during the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper should be in attendance to present the work.
