================================================================

The Ro-MAN2020 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Workshops &
Tutorials to be held during the 29th IEEE International Conference on Robot
and Human Interactive Communication in Naples, Italy from 31th August till
4th September 2020. Ro-MAN is the flagship conference of Robotics, where
state-of-the-art innovative results, latest developments, as well as future
perspectives relating to robot and human interactive communication are
presented and discussed. The conference covers a wide range of topics
related to Robot and Human Interactive Communication, including theories,
methodologies, technologies, as well as empirical and experimental studies.

The goal of the Tutorials is to target established fields of research, in
order to provide descriptions on its state of the art, by recognized
researchers in the field. Workshops should focus on areas of active
research, in order to provide an informal forum for participants to
exchange developing research results and ideas. We encourage state of the
art programs with high level of interest, impact, creativity and
innovation, that will attract a broad audience.

Workshops and tutorials focusing on academia-industry partnership and
technology transfer of robotics research are welcome.

The primary criteria for selection are anticipated level of interest,
impact, novelty or creativity, and technical background of presenters.
