April 2-3, 2025

Funchal – Madeira Island

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Extended reality blends real and virtual worlds, transforming how humans
and robots collaborate. By sharing spatial understanding, extended reality
enables seamless cooperation on tasks through intuitive interaction.
Extended reality devices, like robots, perform spatial perception tasks
(e.g., visual SLAM), facilitating colocalization and enhancing human-robot
interaction.

Extended Reality interfaces include Augmented Reality (AR), overlaying
virtual elements on the real world; Virtual Reality (VR), immersing users
in digital environments; and Mixed Reality (MR), merging real and virtual
content interactively. AR and MR are particularly vital for enabling shared
spatial awareness and collaboration.

This special session highlights advances in Extended Reality for
human-robot collaboration across industries like healthcare, manufacturing,
and education, showcasing new developments and applications.

Special Session Chairs: Paulo Menezes (pm at deec.uc.pt), Ana Lopes (
anacris at isr.uc.pt), Paulo Gonçalves (paulo.goncalves at ipcb.pt) and João
Bimbo (jmbimbo at fc.ul.pt)

Paper Submission

----------------

Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in English.
Six pages in the standard IEEE format (
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html)
are allowed for each paper, including tables and figures. Full draft papers
should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, using the URL:

For evaluation, authors must remove their names from the submitted papers,
and should take reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity.

Papers submitted for review that fall into the category of review papers
will not be considered during the evaluation process, ensuring that the
assessment is focused on original research contributions.

Accepted papers will be scheduled for presentation, which requires that at
least one of the authors should register at the Conference and present the
paper. If the authors of an accepted paper, either for oral presentation or
poster, do not show up at the conference, the corresponding paper will not
be submitted to IEEExplore.
