Human-Robot Interaction in Public Spaces
at IEEE/ACM Conference on Human-Robot Interaction 2022
A workshop on sharing experience and developing road maps for HRI in public spaces
A workshop on sharing experience and developing road maps for HRI in public spaces
Robots and intelligent virtual agents are recently being developed as social interaction partners in public domains. Commercial solutions such as Pepper or Cruz are increasingly being used outside the lab. Though at the same, time customer value and business models for social robots in public spaces are scarce; it seems evident that there is no killer application for social robots in public spaces yet. This workshop wants to break the boundaries between academia and business and give both sides a venue to exchange lessons learned and develop a road map on the technical, legal, ethical, and business challenges for deploying social robots.
Workshop Format
Workshop Format
The workshop on Human-Robot Interaction in public spaces fosters discussion on lab research and in-the-field research and between academia and industry. It will bring together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent trends and challenges regarding deploying robots and virtual agents in (semi-) public domains (e.g., museums, travel hubs, shopping malls).

Prospective workshop participants are encouraged to submit short position papers (2-4 pages, IEEE double-column template: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html) on one of the below topics, outlining their work or interest in the area. The program committee will review the submissions, and accepted papers will be presented at the workshop during a lightning talk session. Students are particularly encouraged to submit position papers and participate in the lightning session to receive feedback on their research from the community. Accepted papers will also form the workshop proceedings and be posted on the workshop website.
Contributions to the workshop are sought in all areas relevant to the goal of the workshop with regards to application in public spaces including, but not limited to:
design of service robots / public interaction systems
(audiovisual) social signal processing, activity/intention/goal recognition and person tracking
automated planning, reasoning under uncertainty, decision making and cognitive robotics
evaluation of robots in real-world contexts and user experience with robots in public spaces
knowledge representation and knowledge sharing
multimodal fusion and interaction management
robust spoken language processing, speech recognition in noisy environments and natural language generation
business models, applications and challenges of robots and virtual agents in public spaces
