Statement of objectives
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is devoted to the development of smarter systems that study the interaction between humans and robots, which has attracted increasing research interests in the past years. In many practical scenarios, such as factories, rehabilitation robots, and operating rooms, HRI technology can be exploited to increase safety using intelligence for human operation. However, both available commercial robotic systems and some ongoing researches lack intelligence due to their limited capabilities in the perception of the environment, hampering their spreading in the applications and development. Nowadays, the HRI usually relies on a single sensing system, with separates algorithms and hardware developed for sensing systems, for instance, tactile perception and computer vision. Future intelligent robots should integrate all available sensing systems to interact with the environment in the ways humans do. Sensor fusion and perception with Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been popular in environment perception and activity recognition, by fusing information from a multi-modal sensing system and selecting the most appropriate information to achieve the perception. Hence, how to combine the technique of multi-sensor fusion and perception for HRI is an inspiring and promising topic. This workshop aims at bringing world-class researchers to present the state-of-art research achievements and advances that contribute to the HRI using integrating sensor fusion and perception techniques.

FOMART
Authors should submit an extended abstract (2 pages) as a PDF in the standard IEEE conference format, before the submission deadline specified below. Before the workshop, authors of the accepted abstracts are required to submit a one-page PPT to the organizer, and they will have 3 minutes to orally introduce the abstract at the workshop.
Live demos or videos are highly encouraged. Please communicate with the organizers if you need any help, for example, extra space, power, or equipment for your demo.
SCOPE
Topics of interest include but not limited to
- Integration of vision and tactile sensing for robot perception, e.g., object recognition, object exploration, planning, action selection, and learning
- Bio-inspired approaches (for instance robotic surgery) for the fusion of vision and touch sensing in Human-Robot Interaction
- Deep learning techniques based perfection for Human-Robot Interaction
- The use of vision and haptic for safe human-robot interaction/collaboration
- Human-Robot Interaction including AR/VR/MxR immersive technologies
- Integration haptic guidance for teleoperation
- Multi-sensor fusion oriented Human-Robot Interaction
