Introducing the workshop and organisers.
45 min
In subgroups, participants will engage in a collective mapping exercise, examining how HRI design research contributions are framed and how quality is evaluated. Participants will collaboratively place the evaluation criteria they proposed in advance onto a shared wall map, creating a shared "lens" that participants will bring to the next activity.
60 min
The exhibit will feature around 15 projects (submitted by participants). Subgroups will explore the exhibit together, selecting specific works to discuss how the works should be evaluated. The aim is not to judge the work, but to use it as a foundation for reflection and dialogue, refining the evaluation criteria previously discussed in the mapping exercise.
Break 30 min
30 min
The last activity will be a deeper discussion of participants’ experiences with the works and evaluation criteria. Guiding questions include: What did the exhibit reveal about designerly HRI work? How does this connect to the evaluation criteria developed earlier? How can we celebrate diversity while also identifying common ground? The workshop will conclude with a discussion of strategies for strengthening the position of design research in HRI.
