Aim<br>
<br>
***<br>
<br>
The growing reliability, efficiency, and computational
capabilities of robotic platforms are pushing the design of
innovative services that see robots acting and interacting with
humans in both common-life and working scenarios. The effective
use of robots in ecological environments is strictly connected to
the capability of synthesizing safe and socially compliant robot
behaviors as well as the skills, expectations, and needs of the
humans they act or interact with. It is an emerging necessity to
create human-mediated systems where a robot executes interactive
or productive tasks autonomously under the human’s supervision,
possibly requiring the (occasional) intervention of users. Human
knowledge is expected to directly (e.g., through shared control
and shared autonomy) or indirectly (e.g., through requisite
specification) guide robot autonomy to realize behaviors that are
in line with the desired domain objectives, safe and acceptable by
involved human users. Furthermore, robots need models of
behavioral dynamics, mental states, expectations, and intentions
of humans to realize smooth and acceptable interactions by
tailoring their general skills to the specific needs and features
of users and social contexts. The design of effective models
capable of characterizing physical, cognitive, and behavioral
features of humans, and combining them with the control and
interacting strategies of robots still pose open research
challenges. In this respect, research should investigate novel
technologies, and methodologies facilitating communication, and
sharing knowledge among the different stakeholders (e.g.,
roboticists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, domain experts,
and end-users). This special session, therefore, aims at fostering
the dialogue among the different stakeholders involved in the
design and deployment of novel human-mediated and socially aware
robots with particular attention to the following topics: a)
co-design and definition of requirements; b) modeling of human
cognition and physical states as well as social dynamics; c)
metrics and benchmarks to evaluate acceptability and efficacy of
human-robot interactions; d) ethical regulations; e) hybrid
approaches to improve legibility of robot behaviors and
communication with humans in general. Given the multidisciplinary
nature of the proposed Special Session and the scientific,
technological, and ethical impact of such emerging human-robot
interaction paradigms, it perfectly fits with the audience of
RO-MAN and with the theme of the current edition focusing on
Human-Centered HRI<br>
<br>
