What Actors Can Teach Robots - CHI 2017 Workshop, Denver CO, May 6, 2017


EXTENDED Submission Deadline: Mar 24th, 2017

Participants accepted in order received, as long as space permits.


For more information and to submit: https://hri.stanford.edu/minimal/


This workshop will be a forum for discussing minimal social robots and prototyping new ones, also building on methodology from acting training. The program includes invited and accepted participant presentations, improvisational and video-prototyping exercises, and a design challenge that will take place during the workshop. Sociability, though challenging to operationalize technologically, is an incredibly efficient channel for communicating with people. While much previous work in social robotics has explored complex platforms, the premise of this workshop is to take a simple concept and push it as far as one can go.


The intent of this workshop is to share knowledge between researchers who use minimalist design strategies in their own design work, and anyone in related areas who is curious about how sociability can play a role in technological interfaces. While the workshop activity will center on robotic technology, we encourage submissions examining any computational system that seeks to interpret or interface with people, as such research could provide useful perspective in understanding the complex communications of simple sensors/actions.


Prospective attendees should prepare a 2-3 sentence statement of interest and email it to the organizers (contact information listed below). Attendees will have the chance to hear from experts in the field, learn about the work of fellow researchers, and prototype a minimal robot interaction during the course of the workshop.


Additional information, including invited speakers and talks thus far, can be found on the workshop website: https://hri.stanford.edu/minimal/
