http://www.icsr2011.org

The International Conference on Social Robotics brings researchers and practitioners together to report on and discuss the state-of-the-art research in the field of social robotics. The conference focuses particularly on social interaction between humans and robots, the integration of robots into our society, and the design of next generation social robot interfaces and systems.

The theme of the 2011 conference is “Alive!” It expresses the vitality of the social robotics research, paying particular attention to the development of robots that appear increasingly social — the point that people perceive them to be alive. The conference aims to foster discussion on the development of computational models, robotic embodiments, and behavior that enable robots to act socially and the impact that social robots have on people and their social and physical environment.

Dutch and Chinese Translation of the Godspeed Questionnaire Series

Thanks to Bram Vanderborght and his team, a Dutch and Chinese translation of the Godspeed Questionnaire Series is now available. With this measurement instrument you can assess the anthropomorphism, animacy, likeability, perceived intelligence, and perceived safety of robots. You can find a detailed description of the instrument in our article.
