Summary of session:

This session focuses on multimodal perception, cognitive modelling, and embodied interaction that enable intelligent systems to perceive, interpret, and collaborate with humans naturally and adaptively. Original research papers addressing the following areas or related areas are invited:

• Multimodal Interaction: Eye-tracking, Gaze-based interaction, EEG Decoding, EMG signal interfaces, Gesture and motion-based control, Voice and speech interaction, Multimodal signal fusion.
• Cognitive and Behaviour Modelling: Cognitive and mental analysis, Human attention analysis, Behaviour pattern recognition, Affective computing, Human decision-making theory, Intention Inference.
• Immersive and Embodied Interaction: Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality interfaces, Display technologies, Tracking technologies, VR/AR/MR in medicine, manufacturing, and business.
• Human–robot collaboration: Physical and cognitive human-robot interaction, Socially assistive robotics, Biologically-inspired robotics, Evolutionary robotics, Neurorobotics, Perceptual robotics.

Papers with proper consideration for practical applications, e.g., in the form of simulation models, prototypes, and/or with industrial collaboration will be considered favorably for acceptance.
