Dates and Submission

We welcome prospective participants to submit either full papers (up to 6 pages) or extended abstracts (up to 4 pages).

Papers can be on research that the authors would like to discuss during the workshop, especially encouraging papers on new ideas or research that the authors plan to conduct. Possible topics of the submissions will cover a wide view of the state of the art.

Workshop papers must clearly indicate that they are part of the ASIMOV workshop.


We strongly encourage workshop participants to present during paper presentation demos and videos showing their experiments and achievements. All material collected during the Workshop, such as video, slides, papers, etc., will be made available on the workshop website upon approval of the authors.


Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended/revised version of the papers for a special issue in a recognized international journal. We will propose to either International Journal of Social Robotics or Paladyn Journal of Behavioural Robotics or Journal of Healthcare Engineering or IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics.
