Dear all,

This is a reminder about the upcoming workshop on Multidisciplinary
Perspectives on COntext-aware embodied Spoken INteractions (MP-COSIN) that
will be held at the RO-MAN 2023 conference in Busan, Korea.

Summary
The workshop aims to gather researchers in the fields of speech technology,
dialogue systems, and human-robot interaction to discuss the challenges of
creating interactive agents that can take their environment, context and
own embodiment into account to make the interactions with their users
natural and convincing. While it is already challenging to deploy embodied
agents for spoken interactions in the real world, the addition of a
dynamically evolving context during the interaction makes the complexity of
this task even higher. As these types of interactions can fail or succeed
in many different ways, it is important to bring different fields together
to share experiences in addressing this research path. In particular,
communities with a history of research on spoken dialogue systems,
conversation analysis, and conversational user interfaces can help provide
a common ground on the notion of context-awareness and how it could be
developed for robotics and human-robot interaction.

Details
We will have a half-day workshop consisting of keynote speakers, paper
presentations and a group discussion. The workshop will take place on
August 31st from 13:10-16:00 in the Miami room (2F).
