Dear Robotics Researchers,
Due to multiple requests, the deadline for submissions to RoboAssist2013 Symposium has
been extended to 30 June 2013.
===================================
Call For Papers (apologies for multiple postings)
===================================
Symposium on Wearable Robotics for Motion Assistance and Rehabilitation (RoboAssist2013)
September 18-20, 2013, Algarve, Portugal, in conjunction with the
International Congress on Neurotechnology, Electronics and Informatics (NEUROTECHNIX 2013)
Authors of selected papers will be asked to submit extended version of their papers to Special Issue on Robotics and Autonomous Systems Journal (RAS- Elsevier)
Motivation and objectives
--------------
The population aged 60 and over is expected to rise considerably in the coming years. The rise in life expectancy combined with falling birth rates, will accelerate the ageing of this population. Facing this problem or reducing its effect would have a great societal impact by improving the quality of life and regaining people independence to make them active in society, and live active, fulfilling and independent lives. On the other hand, robotic applications have rapidly expanded from classical industrial applications with repetitive tasks to applications with close human-robot interaction. Particularly, assistive robotics has gained an increasing attention in the last decades. Indeed, adaptation of healthcare services to the needs of this dependent population will have a great impact on the development of assisting robotic devices. In addition, technological advances and the emergence of novel adapted technologies such as wearable and ubiquitous technologies with considerable reduction in size, cost and energy consumption, are becoming a privileged solution to provide assistive services to humans. This challenging technology is expected to work closely, interact and collaborate with people in an intelligent environment.
This symposium aims to gather researchers from different backgrounds to discuss and learn about wearable robotics. The accepted papers will provide discussions about the state of the art, challenges and limiting factors for developing sustainable wearable robots for assistive and rehabilitation of human movements.
Scope and Topics
--------------
This symposium aims at contributing to discuss the state of the art and the future trends of the use of wearable robotics for motion assistance and rehabilitation. Contribution to this special session can be mostly framed in the following list of topics:
1. Neurorobotics
2. EMG Signal Processing and Applications for wearable robots
3. Neurological Disorders and Rehabilitation through wearable robots
4. Neuro-interface Prosthetic Devices
5. Exoskeletons, actuated orthoses and prostheses
6. Mechatronic design and control of human movements through wearable robots
7. Cognitive/physical interaction paradigms for wearable assistive robotics
8. Novel kinematics and actuation solutions for wearable robots
9. Human–wearable robot multimodal interaction paradigms
Instructions for Authors
------------------------
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above.
Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats) are available at:
Please also check the Guidelines and Templates at:
Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris
Both complete papers and extended abstracts can be submitted. All accepted extended abstracts will be published on CD-ROM without an ISBN, accepted papers will be published on CD-ROM support and in a special section of the congress proceedings book, under an ISBN reference. The proceedings are submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers and extended abstracts presented at the congress venue will also be made available at the SCITEPRESS DIGITAL LIBRARY (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/Default.aspx). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/).
