Interactive Robots and AI for Healthcare 

Type of contributions can be extended abstracts (2-4 pages) presenting original work and novel insights in the field, case studies showcasing successful implementations or innovative applications of interactive robotics and AI in healthcare, short reports highlighting ongoing projects, preliminary findings, or emerging trends, demonstrations, or prototypes of interactive robotics and AI systems relevant to healthcare, literature reviews or position papers.

Manuscripts should be formatted according to the IEEE conference template and submission guidelines. Two independent reviewers will single-blind peer-review them.

The program committee will review the contributions, and accepted papers will be presented during a lightning-talk session at the workshop. Students are particularly encouraged to submit position papers and participate in the lightning session to receive feedback on their research from the community.

Contributions to the workshop are sought in all areas relevant to the goal of the workshop with regards to application in AI and robotics for healthcare, including, but not limited to:

• Assistive Robotics for People with Special Needs (e.g., older adults, people with disabilities)

• Rehabilitation Robotics and Physical Therapy

• Surgical Robotics and Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Wearable Technologies

•  Human-Robot Interaction in Clinical Settings and its impact on patient engagement and satisfaction

•  Mental Health Support and Therapy Robots

• Telepresence Robots for Remote Healthcare Delivery

• Ethical and Social Implications of Interactive Robotics in Healthcare

• Advanced machine learning algorithms and their applications in healthcare robotics

• Case studies and real-world implementations of interactive robotics and AI technologies in healthcare environments

• Application focused Design Approaches (e.g., user-centred design, co-creation, action-based research, ethnographic studies)

You can submit your paper earlier if you want to use the early-bird registration fee. We will handle the submissions on time and can also give feedback before the acceptance notification deadline.
