Mini-track Title: Human-Robot Interactions
General Research Track: Collaboration Systems and Technologies
*This is new mini-track that has been add for HICSS 53.*
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 minitrack welcomes research papers that explore human‒robot
interaction and robot design at any level (i.e. individual, team,
organizational, and societal). This minitrack 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
