Dear All, You are cordially invited to submit your contributions to the half-day workshop "Movement Matters: A Turing Test for Robot Interaction <https://activeself.de/movement-matters/>" (MoMa), which will be held as part of RO-MAN 2025 on August 29th in Eindhoven, Netherlands. This workshop examines how the Turing Test can be extended beyond language-based interaction to evaluate robotic intelligence through movement. The focus is on how physical behavior, such as navigation, approach strategies, and motion dynamics, can function as a basis for assessing agency, intentionality, and human-likeness in robots. We welcome submissions that investigate the role of non-verbal behavior in shaping user perception and that propose theoretical, empirical, or design-based approaches to movement as a testable dimension of intelligence. We also invite contributions from researchers working on reinterpretations of the Turing Test, embodied interaction, and the relationship between motion and perceived intelligence in artificial agents. *Important Dates* - *Paper submission*: July 3rd, 2025 - *Notification of acceptance*: July 17th, 2025 - *Camera-ready submission*: August 5th, 2025 - *Workshop date*: August 29th, 2025 *Submission Guidelines* Papers should be up to *4 pages*, including an *abstract* of up to* 300 words*. They should be submitted through the submission portal <https://easychair.org/cfp/MoMa2025>.
