There is growing awareness that the future of robotics is a collaborative one. Although rapid technological advancements are driving the development and maturation of robotics platforms across a range of domains, the methods by which people work with these platforms remains a largely open question. Unpacking this solution requires a multifaceted approach with key contributions from diverse fields and disciplines, including user modelling, adaptive interfaces, persistent communication, interaction design, human factors, and situational awareness. This workshop intends to discuss the opportunities, threats, and future of collaborative robotics, by incorporating multidisciplinary perspectives. We invite researchers and practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction, Robotics and Engineering, Ethics, Psychology, Social Sciences, Design, Architecture, and Artificial Intelligence to make submissions and join us in exploring the requirements for next-generation human-robot collaboration and synthesising a path towards the future where people and robots work hand in hand.
Submission Guidelines
We invite researchers with an interest in shaping the next-generation of human-robot collaboration (HRC) and empowering humans in human-robot teams to submit contributions. We encourage submissions on a wide spectrum of topics including (but not limited to) interaction design for HRC, user modelling, multimodal analytics, intention recognition and visualisation, formation and maintenance of trust, ethical HRC, data privacy, safety, socio-technical implications, and design of HRC evaluation metrics.
The following paper categories are welcome. Please include the below details listed in your submissions.
- Position papers:
- Participants' profile
- A description of a topic or challenge that can contribute to workshop discussions
- Expression of interest (EOI):
- Participants' profile
- Participants' interest in HRC
The position papers and EOIs must relate directly to the theme of the workshop to explore crucial future research directions for advancing human-robot collaboration and discuss emerging concepts and design decisions, incorporating your discipline-specific perspective.
Please format the papers as follows:
- Submission format: Single column format in PDF, using the ACM Master Article Submission Templates (Word or LaTeX version).
- Page length:
- Position paper submissions should be maximum 5 pages (excluding references)
- EOI submissions should be maximum 1 page
- Anonymisation: Submissions should not be anonymised
