[journals][CFP] Special issue “Robot avatars for telepresence and social interaction”  Dear colleagues we are pleased to announce that we are co-organizing a special issue on “Robot avatars for telepresence and social interaction”  on the Springer International Journal of Social Robotics. Submissions open on October 1st, 2022, and will close on March 31st, 2023.  This special issue is timely with the growing interest of the robotics community for robots that are teleoperated to act as human avatars, to enable telepresence and social interaction. The ANA Avatar Xprize competition has accelerated this field of research, and for this reason, we are particularly soliciting papers from the teams that participated in the XPRIZE competition.  The special issue is not constrained to social robotics applications, we welcome system papers and tech papers in a diverse set of topics.
