DESCRIPTION |
Robotic technologies are being increasingly integrated into real life settings. The adoption of robots by the society is transcending the initial fascination with novel technology and is gradually entering a new phase, characterized by a massive impact of the technology on various aspects of our everyday lives. These developments emphasize the need to better understand how robotic technologies shape, and are being shaped by, the physical and social contexts in which they are used.
This Special Issue is open for everyone who is interested in the topics related to the physical and social aspects of HRI. However, in a great part it will be based on the Workshop on Robots in Contexts: Human-Robot Interaction as Physically and Socially Embedded at the European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics (http://ecce2017.eace.net/), held in Umeå, Sweden, September 20-22, 2017.
The topics of this special issue include (but not limited to):
- spacing and orientation,
- agency,
- activity awareness and accountability,
- robot and human identities,
- responsibility, rights, and ownership,
- power differences,
- action capabilities and affordances,
- human-robot collaboration,
- perceptions and identities,
- social etiquette,
- social interaction,
- ecosystems of interconnected smart objects.
