Robo-Identity: Designing for Identity in the Shared World 

Boulder, Colorado, 11 March , 2024 (Hybrid Event)

As a part of the 2024 International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2024)

Following the success of the first two editions of Robo-Identity workshops, the third edition will provide an opportunity to expand the discussion about artificial identity. This year, we will emphasise on the fluid nature of robo-identity in the shared world. Thus, we will explore questions regarding how the fluidity of robot identity can help enable personalized engagement, reverse the perpetuation of harmful social biases, and promote a future of more inclusive and adaptable technologies. This can be an opportunity to discuss questions such as:  How do we design robots that can adapt to individuals' and groups' evolving identities? How can robots cater to the changing needs and preferences of people? How can and should robots analyze and synthesize evolving human identity while effectively adapting over time? How should robot identity be presented? When would it be appropriate to adapt and present a particular robot identity? For a rich discussion on these questions during the workshop, we encourage submissions from various disciplines that present different perspectives and challenges when designing robo-identity in the shared world.

Authors are invited to submit short papers; See Call for Papers for details. 

The activities for the workshop will take place in a hybrid format.
