Abstract

This workshop proposes looking at errors in humans and robots. The workshop will focus along three axes: Human, Robot and Interaction induced errors. Errors in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) pose a crucial challenge for the deployment of robots. Errors can affect the safety and trust of users, therefore it is important for empowering society that these robots can handle errors robustly. The workshop intends to foster interdisciplinary discussion among researchers in robotics, HCI, cognitive science, and social sciences, to encourage the development of robust, user-centered, and socially responsible HRI systems. The invited speakers, paper presentations and discussions will focus around topics of detecting errors, handling errors, adapting to errors, restoring trust, using intentional errors, communication strategies, issues of expectation as well as look at design, interdisciplinary and ethical approaches to research. In this way we will help inform research into errors, and develop robotic systems capable of robust interaction and collaboration.
