HRI 2022 Workshop

March 7th, 2022

Virtual - 9:00 am - 6:00pm PST

Workshop Objective

This workshop seeks to grow the study of how real-world, deployed robot systems impact the people who interact with them and the social structure of the places that they inhabit. By bringing together researchers interested in longitudinal studies on real-world human-interactive long-term deployments, we hope to arrive at a clearer vision of how best to study these systems.

Invited Speakers

Maja Mataric, University of Southern California

Reid Simmons, Carnegie Mellon University

Stefanie Tellex, Brown University Selma Šabanović, Indiana University

Paper Topics

Contributions are invited on all topics relevant to longitudinal social impacts of HRI over long-term deployments including (but not limited to):

-

Longitudinal studies of HRI over real-world large-scale deployments -

Interdisciplinary approaches and long-term autonomy -

Methodological and technical challenges for longitudinal studies -

Social impacts of HRI over long-term deployments -

Social effects such as safety, privacy, and inclusion -

New opportunities for HRI and HR teaming -

Demonstrations of long-term deployments -

Hardware and devices for human-robot interaction -

New sensors, biological signals for longitudinal HRI

Social Science and Technical Review Tracks

All submissions will select at least one review track for their paper: either social science or technical. A submission may select both tracks if it appropriately represents the work.

Submission types

Submission types for this workshop include:

-

Short work-in-progress and position papers (2-4 pages) -

Long-format integration and experimental papers (4-6 pages).

All papers are to be considered for both oral presentations and posters, with final format to be indicated along with acceptance. To encourage participation, 1-2 page extended abstracts describing the research interests of participants will also be accepted and featured on the workshop's website.
