[Call for Paper] Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H) @AVI 2024

by Marco Manca

* Apologies for multiple copies. Please forward to anybody who might be interested, thanks * ############################################################# CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop Robots for Humans (R4H) Co-located within the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI2024) Arenzano (Genoa), Italy June 3rd or 4th 2024 Workshop website: https://r4h-workshop.github.io/ ############################################################# AIMS AND SCOPE The "Robots for Humans" (R4H) workshop bridges the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) communities. With this workshop, we want to bring together these communities by highlighting the commonalities of the two, stressing their differences, and encouraging the contamination of their methods and results. We aim to do so by recognising that human beings can be the bridge between these two communities and the main objective for a human-centred design approach. With these reflections in mind, our workshop invites HCI and HRI researchers to develop proposals for theoretical, technical and design ideas that highlight thoughts on empowerment and the new challenges posed by the design of robots. We ask researchers to propose both perspectives: the utopian, which imagines ideal scenarios, and the dystopian, which explores potential challenges, reflecting on the role of artefact design and interaction in shaping these visions. Join us to explore the intricate bond between humans and robots for thoughtful HRI advancements. ############################################################# TOPICS Topics included in the workshop, but not limited to, are the following: HCI theories and methods and novel approaches applied to HRI, Cognitive Architectures for HRI. Concept papers on the role of technology and robots in empowering or challenging human well-being. Empirical studies for human empowerment with technology (e.g., SAR, Health care, educational context). Participatory design approaches for HRI applications (e.g., user-centred design for computer and robotic applications, human-centred, and interaction-based design) Research methods and challenges for different contexts (e.g., assistive and education) in the HRI field. Interaction with virtual or physical embodied agents, human factors and human-in-the-loop in HRI, group dynamics in HRI. Design relationship between humans and robots (multi-modal communication, robot personalities, gender robotics, empathy). Diversity, power dynamics, gender, racism, social stereotypes and vulnerable targets of users in HRI. Trust, acceptance and explainability in HRI; personalisation and end-user development of robot applications. Ethical issues (e.g. privacy, misuse and abusive interactions), social risks and fairness in HRI. ############################################################# ORGANISATION AND DURATION We plan to conduct a half-day workshop including the following activities: Welcome and opening (10 min.). Keynote speaker: Dr Giulia Perugia (confirmed) (30 min.) and Q&A (10 min.). Papers/Poster presentations (1.15 min.). Coffee Break (15 min). Focus groups (60 min.) moderated by Dr Carlo Mazzola. Closing remarks (15 min.). The workshop is planned to be in-person. Participants will propose discussion topics for a focus group session in the workshop's second part. Led by moderators, subgroups will facilitate idea exchange in designing HRI applications. Participants will then identify the most significant topics for the workshop at the session's conclusion. AVI workshops are scheduled for either the 3rd or 4th of June, 2024. Please check back the workshop website soon for the exact dates and scheduling information. ############################################################# SUBMISSION AND EVALUATION CRITERIA Workshop participants are invited to submit a position papers (max 6 pages excluding references) The accepted papers will be published in the workshop’s proceedings on CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/), indexed by Scopus.

An outline of the foreseen reviewing process to ensure the scientific quality of the accepted papers including a tentative list of program committee members. A draft call for papers (max 1 page). Selection of Special Tracks Accepted Special Tracks will be curated by the Special Track Chairs, possibly involving other members of the conference’s organizing committee, and possibly discussing details with the Track Proposers. Publication Papers submitted to each particular track have to satisfy the same criteria as for the main conference. They must be original works and must not have been previously published. They have to be peer-reviewed by the track’s Program Committee (at least three reviews per submitted paper are required). The final version of papers must follow the formatting instructions of the main conference. At least one of the authors of all accepted papers must register and present the work at the conference on site; otherwise, the paper will not be published in the proceedings. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference proceedings published in ACM Digital Library. The special track may provide an option for publishing the extended versions of selected papers in a special issue of a journal. Special Track Proposal Submission Guidelines The proposal should be submitted as a single PDF file to the special track chairs (see below) via email to: ombretta.gaggi(a)unipd.it and jochen.meyer(a)offis.de. The subject of the e-mail must be: “GoodIT 2024 – special track proposal”. The special tracks chairs may ask proposers for supplying additional information during the review period. Important Dates Proposal Submission Deadline: March 3rd, 2024 Notification of Selection: March 8th, 2024 Paper submission deadlines must be the same as for the main conference (indicative: submission May 19th; NoA July 7th; camera-ready July 21st) Contact (Special Tracks Chairs) Ombretta Gaggi (University of Padua, Italy) – ombretta.gaggi(a)unipd.it Jochen Meyer (OFFIS - Institute for Information Technology, Germany) – jochen.meyer(a)offis.de
