The deadline for submitting full papers has been extended one last time. Full papers should consist of 11 pages of body text plus references as appropriate. The most important conference dates are: Full Paper Submission: May 9, 2025; Full Paper Notification: June 13, 2025; Camera-ready: June 30, 2025; Paper Presentation Days at ICSR’25: September 11 and 12, 2025. All dates – including the deadlines for the submission of short papers and special session papers – are listed on the website. „The conference theme, ‚Emotivation at the Core: Empowering Social Robots to Inspire and Connect,‘ highlights the essential role of ‚Emotivation‘ in social robotics. Emotivation captures the synergy between emotion and motivation, where emotions trigger and sustain motivation during interactions. In social robotics, this concept is key to building trust, fostering empathy, and supporting decision-making by enabling robots to respond sensitively to human emotions, inspiring engagement and action.“ (Website ICSR) Participants will meet for two days at the Parthenope University of Naples and for the third day at the Città della Scienza conference center. All buildings and rooms are also listed on the website. The PDF of the CfP can be downloaded here.
