Call for Special Session Contributions

The special session of the ICSR 2025 in Naples will explore how social human-agent interaction can enhance health-related applications through effective sensing, interpretation, and adaptation to human needs. The organizers are looking for contributions that propose different interaction paradigms, such as phygital (physical-digital) environments that combine virtual and embodied agents and objects for rehabilitation. This special session will focus on healthcare and well-being applications, emphasizing the seamless interaction between humans (clinicians, patients) and artificial agents (robots and avatars, controlled by humans or AI systems). Invited speakers will explore how intelligent agents can sense, interpret, and adapt to human needs, enabling more effective assistance, engaging rehabilitation and stimulation, and support in clinical and home-care environments. The deadline for the submission of contributions is April 30, 2025. Further information is available at icsr2025.eu/special-sessions/.
