Expressivity for Sustained Human-Robot Interaction
Expressivity for Sustained Human-Robot Interaction
Location: The Workshop will be held at the room 320A of the EXCO Convention Center, Daegu, Korea.
Expressivity is a core component of human social Interactions. With the use of multiple, non-verbal, modalities to convey or augment the communication of internal states and intentions humans achieve sustained, meaningful and effective social interactions.
With the advent of social robotics, studying expressivity in contexts of artificial agents has become a highly relevant topic, leading to explicit considerations of how robots can leverage these abilities in sustained and repeated social interactions.
This workshop provides a unique and timely forum for scientists, designers and practitioners from diverse disciplines to come together and advance the state of the art in developing expressive robots for long-term interaction.
Research on this is diverse, and covers aspects such as animation, robot design, mechanics, as well as cognitive science, developmental psychology, and cross-cultural studies with robots.
We invite researchers from all disciplinary backgrounds to participate in the workshop, and submit here an extended abstract to contribute to this discussion. Details about the submission process can be found here.
This workshop is being held in conjunction with the kick-off meeting of the International Consortium of Socially Intelligent Robotics. The Consortium aims to bring together scholars from multiple fields to develop socially intelligent robots for a better human society. It takes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, leveraging insights from Design, Technology, and Interaction research, to develop robots that not only fit into, but benefit the social contexts they are used in. The kick-off meeting will be held at the Honda Research Institute Japan, Robotics Co-research Lab, Forest Hills East Wing 1F, 4-18-11 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, March 7-8, 2019 (tentative).
This workshop is part of the Consortium's academic activities.

The Workshop on Expressivity for Sustained Human-Robot interaction is being held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE HRI2019 conference . The HRI conference is a highly selective annual international conference that aims to showcase the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in human-robot interaction with roots in and broad participation from communities that include but not limited to robotics, human-computer interaction, human factors, artificial intelligence, engineering, and social and behavioral sciences.
The 14th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction will be held at EXCO Convention Center in Daegu, Korea from March 11–14, 2019.
