FLUIDITY24 is an investigatory workshop into the property of fluid interaction with robots and other artificial agents.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts of 500 words (max) are welcome on any concept relating to the property of fluid interaction with artificial agents. Existing work is welcome as a means of presenting the ideas, and select abstracts will be chosen for a joint publication of a journal article on the topic after the workshop. Topics are welcome on, but not limited to, the following:

• Definitions (formal or otherwise) of more and less fluid interaction with agents.
• Timing of contributions, both speech and movement, in interaction.
• Natural overlap of speech contributions.
• Natural overlap of movement, gestural and other multimodal interaction.
• Perceptions of smooth, fluid interaction with artificial agents.
• Predictive processing for embodied agents.
