CALL FOR PAPERS
Bringing robots into the real world requires safe interactions with people, from avoiding collisions and physical harm, to ensuring that robots are cognitively and socially safe. We invite you to submit your contribution to enable safe and normative behaviors in human-robot interaction.
We invite extended abstract (4-6 pages excluding references) submissions of recent work that present open questions or preliminary results, related to the theme of the workshop. All authors of accepted abstracts will have the opportunity to present their work in the lightning talks + poster session held during the workshop.
Example areas of interest include but are not limited to:
Factors that contribute to perceived and physical safety in HRI.
Experimental paradigms to study perceived safety in HRI and their ethical considerations.
Influence of social and cultural norms, and individual differences on perceived safety in HRI.
How dark patterns in robot design can adversely affect cognitive and social safety.
Interpretability and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to facilitate or support safety in HRI.
Legibility and predictability of robot behavior.
Types of normative robot behaviors and how they impact HRI.
Safe robot learning.
Formal safety guarantees, safety analysis, and safety specifications for HRI.
Technical and algorithmic advances to improve perceived safety while ensuring physical safety in HRI.
Robotic solutions to improve people's safety in daily life (e.g., at home or in the work place).
Appropriate reliance on robots, when (not) to use them.
