THEME: ROBOT AS TEAM MEMBER
Robots are, or soon will be, used in such critical domains as search and
rescue, military battle, mine and bomb detection, scientific
exploration, law enforcement, and hospital care. Such robots must
coordinate their behaviors with the requirements and expectations of
human team members; they are more than mere tools but rather quasi-team
members whose tasks have to be integrated with those of humans. The
Second Annual Conference on Human-Robot Interaction is dedicated to
these and other issues in human and robot interaction (HRI). The theme
of HRI 07, Robot as Team Member, highlights the importance of building
core science and understanding the social and technical issues in
human-robot interaction in the context of teams and groups. HRI 07 is an
interdisciplinary conference with roots in psychology, cognitive
science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence and robotics, and
we invite broad participation. This annual event will be held in March
2007 in Washington DC.
