CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
We welcome prospective participants to submit extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) to be presented as posters. The manuscripts should use the IEEE IROS two-column format. Please submit a PDF copy of your manuscript through our EasyChair platform before August 1. Each paper will receive a minimum of two reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance to the workshop topics, contributions, technical clarity, and presentation. Accepted papers require that at least one of the authors register to the workshop. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to present and discuss your ongoing work and get an early feedback from the participants.

To submit the paper please follow: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iroshrc2016

Important dates:
-Submission deadline for papers: 1 August, 2016
-Notification of acceptance: 20 August, 2016

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
-Co-adaptation between human and robot
-Learning and modelling human-robot interaction, human instructions and collaborative behaviour
-Methods for self-improvement, interactive and incremental learning of collaborative tasks
-Shared control between human and robot in online learning of coupled tasks
-Intention recognition, skill level/gap evaluation and role allocation
-Transferring and reusing skills from human-human tasks and from existing human-robot tasks to new scenarios
