5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on
HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION 2010
Workshop
on
Learning and Adaptation of Humans in HRI
March
2, 2010,
Aim:
On the current situation where
robots having functions of communication with humans begin to appear in
daily-life fields, it should be considered how symbiosis of humans and robots
can be achieved. Many existing studies have focused on how robots can learn
from and adapt for humans.
This full-day workshop focuses not only
on this classical theme but also on how humans can learn in and adapt for
environments where robots are acting. In particular, human learning from and
adaptation for robots should be covered by interdisciplinary research fields
including robotics, computer science, psychology, sociology, and pedagogy.
The workshop aims at providing with the
forum where researchers from these interdisciplinary fields discuss about how
both humans and robots can and should learn from and adapt for each other, from
the perspectives of engineering, psychology, education, and welfare.
Scope:
The workshop has invited sessions
with representative professionals and general sessions consisting of
submissions from several fields indicated as follows:
l Robot
learning and adaptation in daily-life fields
l Developmental
and social psychology related to HRI
l Psychiatry
related to HRI
l Education
and welfare with robots
l Human-computer
interaction
l Economical
and sociological issues related to HRI
l Philosophical
and ethical issues related to HRI
l Realistic
applications of robotics in other daily-life fields
