Connectionists: Call for papers - IEEE ToH special issue on Haptic Human-Robot Interaction

[Amir Karniel]

Dear Connectionists,

We wish to invite you to submit your best "Haptics Human-Robot Interaction" related results to the special issue described below
 
See for further details at http://www.computer.org/portal/web/toh
 
Guests Editors
 
Dr. Amir Karniel, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev 
Dr. Angelika Peer, Technische Universität München 
Dr. Opher Donchin, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev 
Dr. Ferdinando A. Mussa-Ivaldi, Northwestern University 
Dr. Gerald E. Loeb, University of Southern California 
 
 
The IEEE Transactions on Haptics seeks articles for a 2012 special issue on Haptic Human-Robot Interaction.  Touch is an inevitable component of interaction in collaborative environments. Haptic human-robot interaction is still largely underrepresented compared to other fields of interaction research such as communication via speech and gestures. Safe and intuitive haptic human-robot interactions will be essential for future robotic systems that interact directly with humans, assist them in performing physical tasks, enhance motor training and rehabilitation, and even interact socially such as shaking hands and dancing. The Guest Editors invite papers addressing all aspects of haptic human-human and human-robot interaction.  Potential authors should also note that the first tournament for handshake algorithms and handshake classification will be held in June, 2011 as part of a workshop funded by the Israel Science Foundation at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.  Participants will be encouraged to submit papers to the Special Issue to report their findings, describe the rationale behind their algorithms and interpret their results.
 
Articles are due by 15 September 2011. Visit http://www.computer.org/toh to view the complete call for papers and submission instructions.
