Mini-track Title: Human-Robot Interactions
General Research Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies
HICSS-54, January 5-8, 2021
Kauai, Hawaii
New Deadline: July 15, 2020, 11:59 p.m. HST
Journal Fast-track Opportunity: Information Systems Frontiers,
Special Issue on Social Robotics Business and Computing
Robots are increasingly being adopted in private and public
spaces, leading to a proliferation of human‒robot interactions in
the home, workplace, and other public settings. Robots in the home
are performing household chores and acting as home companions and
home health care providers. Robots at work are fulfilling
traditional human roles in logistics, transportation, and
manufacturing, serving as both co-workers and supervisors. Robots
are also being utilized as tour guides, janitors, and security
officers in public spaces such as museums and airports. Although
these interactions are often collaborative, they are by no means
always cooperative.
Robot interactions with humans across this array of roles and
settings pose interesting questions to scholars in various fields
such as information systems, robotics, psychology, and
sociology. Interaction with robots is distinct from that
with other artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies in
that robots have a physical body that allows them to manifest
physical actions. People cannot only talk to robots but also touch
and be touched by robots. This distinguishes interactions
with robots from interactions with disembodied AI agents, such as
voice agents like Siri by Apple and Alexa by Amazon. Thus,
research on human‒robot interaction can differ significantly from
that of human interaction with disembodied AI agents.
The mini-track welcomes research papers that explore human‒robot
interaction and robot design at any level (i.e. individual, team,
organizational, and societal). This mini-track also
covers human‒robot interaction as much as possible beyond
the notion of "robots as teammates.” Thus, we encourage
submissions that examine many facets of interactions in any
context (e.g., homes, work, and public services) and role
(e.g., companion, co-worker, boss, and adversary).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Promoting cooperative and collaborative interaction with robots
• Examining uncooperative and adversarial human interactions with
robots
• The role of adoption and appropriation in human‒robot
interactions
• Empirical studies examining the cognitive, psychological,
emotional, and social aspects of human‒robot interactions
• The impact of haptic feedback and touch on human‒robot
interaction
• The role of robot attractiveness on human‒robot interaction
• Ethics on human‒robot interactions
• Social-emotional models of human‒robot interaction
• Theoretical frameworks for human‒robot interaction
• Case studies of human‒robot interaction
• Design implications for robot interactions at home, work and
public spaces
• Human-oriented practices that promote human‒robot interactions
• New methodological approaches to studying human‒robot
interactions
