Topics of Interest

We invite submissions that address (but are not limited to) the following topics:

• Real-time estimation of cognitive load in HRC
• Engagement metrics in collaborative robotic tasks
• Adaptive robot behaviors based on human cognitive states
• Multimodal sensing (e.g., EEG, eye tracking, physiological signals)
• HRC in hazardous environments (e.g., search and rescue, space, underwater)
• Collaborative robots in educational and training contexts
• Shared autonomy and workload balancing
• Human-in-the-loop systems and cognitive modeling
• Trust, transparency, and explainability in adaptive HRC
• Cross-domain comparisons: industrial vs. educational vs. therapeutic robotics
