Abstract

The aim of this workshop is to foster the exchange of insights on past and ongoing research towards effective and long-lasting collaborations between humans and robots. This workshop will provide a forum for representatives from academia and industry communities to analyse the different aspects of HRI that impact on its success. We particularly focus on AI techniques required to implement autonomous and proactive interactions, on the factors that enhance, undermine, or recover humans' acceptance and trust in robots, and on the potential ethical and legal concerns related to the deployment of such robots in human-centred environments.
