Research through Design Approaches in Human-Robot Interaction

摘要

This workshop sets out to bring researchers across the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Human-Computer Interaction, and Design fields that use, or are interested in using Research through Design (RtD) in their work. RtD is a research approach that uses design practices, such as ideation and prototyping, to generate knowledge. RtD focuses on understanding what is the right thing to design, and has the potential to bring new perspectives that break through fixation within a field. In our workshop, we will attempt to classify current HRI practices of RtD, identify under-explored topics and methods, and discuss challenges on conducting this type of work in the HRI field. The workshop will result in defining next steps for better integration of RtD approaches in the HRI community and guidelines to include more researchers in RtD practice.
