Dear AoIRists, on behalf of my colleagues in the H2020 cost action on wearable robotics, I am very pleased to call your attention to the call for submissions for a special issue on "Ethical, Legal, and Societal Aspects of Wearable Robots," to be published in the De Gryter open access journal, Paladyn, Journal of Behavioral Robotics. Broadly, the cost action group aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the ethical, legal, and societal issues in Wearable Robotics, especially as related to the design, deployment and practical use of wearable robots. The special issue is part of their strategy for doing so: you can read the full call here - <https://www.degruyter.com/dg/page/1932> Especially as Human-Machine Communication (HMC) is becoming increasingly significant, both in its own right and for more and more of us in AoIR, I thought this would be of interest to many of us. Please also feel free to distribute to other networks through whatever channels that might be appropriate. Many thanks, - charles ess -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess@media.uio.no
