[Air-l] invitation - special session on robotherapy

[libina at georgetown.edu]

Hi everyone,

 In addition to the previous announcement and call for papers for VSMM 
 2002 this September in Korea (see - 
 http://www.vsmm.org/2002/welcome.htm),
 I would like to call for papers and participation in the first 
 robotherapy session which is now a part of the VSMM 2002 conference on 
 September 25.

 Robotherapy is a new field that studies psychological aspects of 
 person-robot interactions (as an example I can refer to our study on 
 robotic cat NeCoRo as an intervention for persons with dementia in 
 nursing home – see 
 http://www.researchinstituteonaging.org/robocat1.htm). 

 Those who interested in participation and writing a paper for the 
 conference proceedings (2 – 10 pages), please contact me (Dr.Alex 
 Libin) directly at libina at georgetown.edu. Authors will have an 
 extended deadline for submission of July 17 (camera ready papers are 
 due in August).

 Thank you and I am looking forward to meeting you at VSMM 2002!

 Regards,
 Alex Libin,
 Chair, Robotherapy Session at VSMM 2002
