Many researchers in the virtual agent and social robotics communities are exploring the integration of affective computing into their systems. However, the majority of this research focuses on only one aspect of affective computing, such as the detection, modeling, or expression of emotion. The goal of this workshop is to create collaborations between the experts in each of these areas to share their latest findings so as to shape the picture of how all of these systems can be integrated together to create an Affective Agent, a virtual agent that senses, models, expresses and responds to a users affective state in real time.
This half-day workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 26th, at the conference venue.
