Social Robotics Girl for ICSR 2025

Since November 12, 2023, a custom GPT called Social Robotics Girl has been available that provides information about social robotics. It was created by Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel and is based on a collection of his articles on this topic. It can therefore give his definition of social robots and make classifications based on his five-dimension model. Since February 16, 2025, Social Robotics Girl is also a contact person when it comes to the International Conference on Social Robotics 2025 (ICSR 2025) in Naples. She knows the deadlines for submissions, the chairs and committees, and the venues. And above all, she can advise you on the topics of the conference, which this time revolve around “Emotivation”. Of course, she also knows a good recipe for Pizza Napoletana. Social Robotics Girl can be accessed via chatgpt.com/g/g-TbhZSZaer-social-robotics-girl.
