RO-MAN 2024 Call for Paper: 2nd International Workshop Weighing the benefits of Autonomous Robot persoNalisation (WARN) https://warn-ws.github.io/ 26th August 2024, in Pasadena, California & Virtual (Hybrid Format) Submission deadline: *July 1st 2024* https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=warn24 If you have questions, please send us an e-mail at warn-workshop@proton.me<mailto:warn-workshop@proton.me> =========================================== *Details* Personalisation in human-robot interaction (HRI) has demonstrated significant advantages in numerous scenarios and is becoming a dominant direction in the field. This workshop explores the multiple aspects of personalisation and behavioural adaptation in social HRI, highlighting the advantages and potential disadvantages. The workshop aims to explore how personalisation impacts interactions and users. While robots designed for end-to-end social interactions can enhance trust and rapport, they can also create filter bubbles or amplify cultural bias and stereotypes. *The Program* The workshop will be hosted in hybrid mode to engage the entire community. The workshop programme will alternate interactive activities with panel sessions and keynote presentations. We strongly encourage multidisciplinary discussion and invite researchers from various disciplines, including engineering, computer science, social science, psychology, philosophy, and law. *Keynote speaker* • Lauriel Riek - UC San Diego *Panellists* • Bahar Irfan - KTH Royal Institute of Technology • Barbara Bruno - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) • Elaine Short - Tufts University • Emmanuel Senft - Idiap Research Institute • Maja Mataric - USC Viterbi School of Engineering • Ryan Calo - University of Washington • Vicky Charisi - European Commission • Wafa Johal - University of Melbourne =========================================== Andrea Rezzani anrezzani(a)unibz.it Faculty of Engineering Free University of Bozen-Bolzano Dominikanerplatz 3 - piazza Domenicani, 3 39100 - Italy UniBZ
