Dear Roboticist,

We are please to invite you to our IROS 2015 full-day workshop
*TOWARDS STANDARDIZED EXPERIMENTS IN HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTIONS*

September 28th, 2015 - Hamburg, Germany

Workshop website: 
http://clawar.org/towards-standarised-experiments-in-human-robot-interactions/ 

IROS website: http://iros2015.org/


*********************
Call for Contribution
*********************

We invite workshop participants to submit extended abstracts (up to 4 
pages) in PDF and IEEE format. For templates and examples follow the 
link http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php.

The abstracts will be presented as posters in a dedicated slot during 
our workshop. Alternatively, workshop participants can submit a poster 
only. Those posters will be presented in the same poster session as 
extended abstract posters. To enable us a structured planning of the 
workshop day, please submit your poster together with a very short 
abstract (less than one page).

Please submit your contributions to [log in to unmask] 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> cc:[log in to unmask] no later 
than August, 24th. All submission will be refereed by the organizing 
committee of the workshop.

Objectives
*********************

This workshop is aimed at advancing the topic of standardization of 
robot experiments in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios. We want to 
tackle HRI as a horizontal topic across all robotics domains. This 
means, that HRI does not necessarily mean physical contact, but involves 
social ability, conversation, feedback to the human, such as making 
robotic arm gestures. While the R&D community produces great amounts of 
scientific outputs on HRI, the results are scattered in a myriad of 
different approaches and ways of performing and testing the interaction; 
metrics which have been used include efficacy, effectiveness, users 
satisfaction, emotional impact and social components. The main 
consequence is that results are not comparable and benchmarking of the 
various approaches proposed is not possible. The community is still 
missing consensus tools to benchmark robot products (robot 
producer/industrial perspective) and robot applications 
(research/academic perspective). Modes are required for the standardized 
assessment of robot products and applications in use in terms of safety, 
performance, user experience, and ergonomics. The benefit of agreed 
approaches and methods to the assessment of HRI is the production of 
results, so called "normative" data in the standardization community, 
meaning that they have been formulated via wide consultation in an open 
and transparent manner. In this way, the results become widely 
acceptable, and can be exploited for the creation of international 
quality norms and standards which in turn would mean measurable robot 
performances in terms of HRI. We would like to draw from a wide set of 
experts from the industry, academy and standardization to focus on the 
key areas of industrial, personal care and medical robots. Together, we 
will work on establishing benchmarking scenarios and identifying 
suitable metrics common to HRI in these central and related robotics 
domains. As a result we aim for providing metrics and scenarios for 
robot producers and HRI researchers to evaluate their robots and robot 
systems and setups on a comparable level. Reproducible and comparable 
results and interoperable systems should be a long-term goal will be a 
valuable contribution to our community. Within the WS, there will be 
paper presentations, posters and hands-on panel discussion sessions in 
the WS and we invite interested WS participants to present their inputs 
as appropriate.

The event follows up on previous workshops focusing on international 
robot standardization and benchmarking in the areas of industrial, 
medical, and personal care robots (ICRA 2013, HRI 2014, IROS 2014 and 
ERF 2015).
