📢 Call for Papers: #SIGDIAL2026 Submit your latest work on discourse & dialogue to the 27th Annual SIGdial Conference (Atlanta, July 13–15, 2026)! 🗓 Deadlines (AoE) • Mar 23 – Title & abstract • Mar 30 – Full paper (PDF) • May 4 – ARR commitment • May 25 – Notifications

This was a major collaboration across Europe, huge thanks to: @oliverlemon for leading the team from @HeriotWattUni, and all SPRING partners & colleagues who made it possible (see the huge author list!) A milestone for socially assistive robotics in healthcare! 🤖💬

The paper ties together work from 8 institutions to advance human–robot interaction (HRI) in real healthcare settings We address: • Robot navigation in clinical environments • Speech processing & non-verbal behaviour • Accessible conversational AI for older adults • & more!

Our SPRING Project paper has just been published in the International Journal of Social Robotics! 🎉 📄 Socially Pertinent Robots in Gerontological Healthcare We explore how hospital patients & our robot Ari can engage in natural, useful conversations link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@StrategyDigital It was great to meet you!

Great presentation by ⁦@Addlesee_AI⁩ at the AI dinner #aidinner #ai #dimentia

@Amrkeleg @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Thanks Amr!!

@Addlesee_AI @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Congrats, Angus! 🎉🎉

It has been wonderful collaborating with my friends at @HeriotWattUni 's Interaction Lab (@iLab_hwu). Thanks! In January, I submitted my PhD thesis titled: "Incremental Multi-party Conversational AI for People with Dementia" Luckily, even the sun came out for graduation day ☀️

@konsgavriil @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Thanks Kostas!!

@Addlesee_AI @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Congrats Angus! 🥳

@eliana__pastor @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Thanks Eliana!! 🎉

@Addlesee_AI @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Congratsss 🎓☀️

@simoneballoccu @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Haha, it was very lucky 😂 thanks Simone!!

@Addlesee_AI @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Sun showing up in Scotland during your graduation? You must be the chosen one! Congrats Angus, and wish you all the successes you deserve :)

@nagunson @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Thanks Nancie!!

@lilyxu0 @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Thanks Lily!! I hope you're enjoying your postdoc 🎉

@Addlesee_AI @HeriotWattUni @iLab_hwu Congrats Angus!! A wonderful milestone and wonderful culmination of your work on such an important topic!

Thrilled to get this paper out, a great collaboration with @UCL_VoCoLab, @Addlesee_AI and @verena_rieser on how self-bias and sense of agency over a voice is altered when that voice is used to represent oneself in a social interaction.
