We expect all participants to send a personal statement before December 20th. The statement is preferably one page long, describing the participant's background and his/her work with a specific robot. The intention is that the characteristics of this robot is used as a generator for structured brainstorming in the workshop. The personal statement can also include robot related research experiences from a specific everyday setting, research methods for everyday robot applications etc.  There will be no paper proceedings, but the personal statements will be printed as a compendium.

Please also notify us (dec 20th) if you intend to bring a poster and/or demo.

A suitable format for the 1 page personal statment is the ACM SIGCHI publication format (Word template availible here).


PRESENTATION, POSTER  AND DEMO details

Participants are expected to prepare a brief presentation (max 10 min) to introduce and clarify the robot used in their research (or other work relating to the workshop theme). We encourage participants to bring and present physical demonstrators and posters.  Please notify if you intend to bring a poster and/or demo when sending your personal statement on dec 20th.
