Shaping human-robot interaction

Abstract

Intelligent robotic products have begun to integrate into our daily lives. While robotic technology has achieved a certain amount of maturity, the social impact of these products is largely unknown. Little information is available on how intelligent robotic products need to be designed to fulfill their social role in our society. This workshop focuses on three aspects of human-robot interaction: (1) technical implementation of intelligent robotic products, (2) form, function and behavior, and (3) human behavior and expectations as a means to understanding the social aspects of interacting with these products.Blurb for workshop. proceedings contain some nice papersA.J.N. van Breemen: Bringing Robots To Life: Applying Principles Of Animation To RobotsJunji Yamato, Kazuhiko Shinozawa & Futoshi Naya: Effect of Shared-attention on Human-Robot CommunicationJill L.
