Summary:
The advancement in technology and robot functionalities have brought significant successes in robotics. In recent years, we have witnessed a slew of household robots introduced to the market, be it in the form of an embodied personal assistant or a service robot. The adoption of robots in the home will continue as humans are getting comfortable having them around. Human-robot interaction and social robotics have so far commonly focused on attracting people to interact with robots directly and measuring engagement with the robot as a main aspect of interaction success. But this is not always the case, as robots can also be used as mediators and instigators of interaction among people, rather than replacing them in the interaction. With this in mind, we aim to explore how robots can assist people in interacting more with each other in a society in which robots and humans co-exist.
Submissions:
We invite extended abstracts of up to 2 pages for poster presentation, and short papers of up to 4 pages for oral presentations in the workshop. Submissions must be sent in pdf, following the IEEE ICRA conference style (two-columns), through Easy Chair:
