Robots in Society: Designing for Acceptance, Sociability and Collaboration with Robots

The aim of the workshop is to gather together researchers, designers and practitioners that are working with human-robot interaction, and are particularly interested in social robots and the design beyond current solutions. The workshop explores and shares information on different viewpoints in integrating robots in the society now and in the future, including acceptance, sociability and collaboration with robots.

The workshop aims to be a forum to present existing cases, new possibilities, early research, challenges and lessons learned, and offer a stage where these questions can be discussed with peers and new colleagues with similar interests. We encourage multi-disciplinary participation, and wish to provide an opportunity to network with new peers.
