HRI Workshop on Human-Robot Teaming

Abstract

Developing collaborative robots that can productively and safely operate out of isolation in uninstrumented, human-populated environments is an important goal for the field of robotics. The development of such agents, those that handle the dynamics of human environments and the complexities of interpreting human interaction, is a strong focus within Human-Robot Interaction and involves underlying research questions deeply relevant to the broader robotics community. "Human-Robot Teaming" is a full-day workshop bringing together peer-reviewed technical and position paper contributions spanning a multitude of topics within the domain of human-robot teaming. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers from a wide array of human-robot interaction research topics with the focus of enabling humans and robots to better work together towards common goals. The morning session is devoted to gaining insight from invited speakers and contributed papers, while the afternoon session heavily emphasizes participant interaction via poster presentations, breakout sessions, and an expert panel discussion.
