Soft/Social/Systemic (3S) Robot Technologies for enhancing Quality of New
Normal (QoNN)

Keywords: HRI and social robotics; Robot Vision and Sensing
Abstract: We are currently facing the problems to adapt our lifestyle to the
new normal for acting against COVID-19 pandemic. We are asked to maintain
the social distance for infection control. Now various companies have
succeeded in creating vaccine for COVID-19. Can we, however, have the same
life before COVID-19 crisis when it is over when all of us get the vaccine?
We think that this crisis uncovered the essential vulnerableness of our
modern lifestyle to the novel virus and we should overcome the
vulnerableness by establishing new normal. One of the critical problem in
new normal is communication in various aspects. We should balance the
reduction of social interaction for infection control and the active
communication for encouraging economical activities, research discussions
and so on. Soft/Social/Systemic (3S) Robot Technologies have great
potentials for enhancing Quality of New Normal (QoNN) in the above aspects.
These technologies may supply the important information that is lost by the
reduction of social interactions. In this organized session, we discuss our
positive actions in robotics against the current pandemic by collecting
papers on 3S Robot Technologies for enhancing QoNN.
Topics: The topics we will focus on is listed as follows: Soft Robotics,
Haptics, Social Robots, Communication Robots, Cognitive Robots and Systems,
Wearable Technologies, Automation, Control of Multi-agent Systems, Cyber
Physical Human Systems, Robotics over Networks, Machine Learning and
Optimization for Robotics, Estimation and Control of Pandemics, Wireless
Communications for Robotics, Telerobotics, Virtual Reality, Multi-agent
Simulation, Digital Twin.
