effects4 of exercising with social robots at the Cognitive Interaction Technology Center of Excellence (CITEC) both at Bielefeld University. a) Sascha Griffiths: is a postdoctoral research and teaching associate at the Knowledge Technology Group, Universität Hamburg, Germany. He holds an M.A. degree (2006) from Bielefeld University, Germany, and a PhD (2013) from the University of Kent, UK. He has previously held research positions in social robotics at Bielefeld University and service robotics at the Technische Universität München. He has published papers on dialog systems for social robots, concept formation and technology-transfer between research institutes and the robotics industry. b) Carlos A. Cifuentes: is a Professor with the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Head of Center for Biomechatronics at Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito (ECIJG-Colombia). He has been Visiting Professor at the Federal University of Espirito Santo, University of Cauca and Plymouth University. Prior to that, he was a postdoc at Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES-Brazil). He has been the leader of projects related to the development of robotic platforms for assistance and rehabilitation and also human-robot interfaces to integrate social robots in rehabilitation scenarios to increase motivation and encouragement of patients. c) Marcela Múnera: Marcela Múnera is an assistant professor in Biomedical engineering at Colombian School of Engineering Julio Garavito, where she contribute to projects in rehabilitation, particularly in the objective assessment of robotic devices and systems in different scenarios, and the assessment of the human response. Marcela Mnera received her PhD in Mechanics and Biomechanics from Universit de Reims Champagne Ardenne thanks to a FEDER, Region Champagne Ardenne Doctoral Grant. She graduated as a Bioengineer from Universidad de Antioquia and from the Ecole Nationale de Metz with a Masters in Mechanics and Materials. d) Arzu Guneysu Ozgur: is a PhD student in the Computer Human Interaction in Learning and Instruction Group (CHILI) at EPFL, Switzerland. She holds an M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from Bogazici University where she studied on socially assistive robots for exercise coaching. She is currently working on tangible robots mediated gamified rehabilitation for stroke patients and children with developmental coordination disorder.

N2 - Exercising is strongly recommended for prevention and treatment of pathologies with high prevalence such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for death worldwide. The decrease of physical activity in our society is not just an individual problem but it is influenced by a variety of environmental and social factors. Hence, it is important to target this issue from a multi-perspective and interdisciplinary point of view. This full-day workshop will offer a forum for researchers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss the potentials and limitations of using social robots to promote physical activity.
