***WHEN AND WHERE***

The workshop will be fully online and will be held on Thursday 25 August
2022 in conjunction with the IEEE RO-MAN 2022 Conference.


***DESCRIPTION***

Robots have the potential to improve services in areas such as eldercare,
rehabilitation, training, and education. However, social practices can be
complex, especially with different cultural backgrounds and norms which
greatly influence individuals' behavior and interpretation patterns. How we
eat, greet, and interact, what is socially acceptable to do or say, and how
we perceive robots are not universal concepts and can vary between
countries.
With this workshop, we aim to raise awareness for the emerging field of
culturally aware robots and bring together researchers interested in
cross-cultural HRI.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cross-cultural similarities and differences in HRI
- Cultural robotics
- Cross-cultural comparisons of robots
- Culturally competent robots
- Challenges and implications of cultural robotics
- Design aspects of robots
- Robots' static and dynamic factors that are influenced by cultural norms
- Interaction modality differences in cultural background
- Cultural differences in understandable and explainable robots
- Human factors affecting the HRI on cultural background
- Human-centered design
- Theories, models, methodologies, and tools for evaluation of robots
- Interaction design process and methodologies
- Subjective and objective measures for evaluation of robots
- Robot roles, gender, stereotypes in different cultural backgrounds
- Robots in popular culture
- Values, ethics, policies for HRI
- Robots in art and creativity, machine performers
- Effects of culture on design, application, use, and evaluation of robots
- Acceptance, trust, perceived safety of robots in cultural differences
