Communication (RO-MAN 2017):

| CARobots: Automated Driving Systems as Robots on Four Wheels |

| Lisbon, Portugal; Friday, September 1st, 2017 |
| colocated with RO-MAN 2017 (http://www.ro-man2017.org) |

| Submission deadline: June 25th, 2017 |

---| OBJECTIVE: AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS (ADSs) AS SPECIFIC ROBOTS |---
We argue that automated driving systems (ADSs) are robots on four wheels
and the design of such vehicles is similar as the design of traditional
robots. Questions, such as "How to design ADSs that evokes trust in its
drivers?", "How to avoid overtrust?", "How should ethics be programmed
in an ADS?", etc., are closely related to similar questions asked in the
domain of industrial robots or robots for human assistance. Then again,
solutions of how to hand-over the control from an ADS to the driver and
vice versa is interesting from human-robot interaction perspective. In
this workshop we bring together researchers, designers and practitioners
in the field of ADS design and human-robot interaction. The aim of the
workshop is to bridge the two communities by positioning paper presen-
tations and group discussions. As special output we strive for a special
issue in a dedicated journal (e.g., Journal of Human-Robot Interaction).
---------------------------| WORKSHOP THEMES |--------------------------
Potential topics to be discussed at the workshop include, but are not
limited to the following OBJECTIVES:
* Which characteristics do automated driving systems (ADSs) and other
robots share?
* How do autonomy levels of ADSs and those in other robots differ?
* What can we learn from the state-of-the-art in HRI for the design of
ADSs?
* What ethical considerations can we adapt from traditional HRI to
facilitate the design of ADSs and vice versa?
* How does interaction between humans and robots and between humans and
ADSs differ?
* What can the current HRI community learn from researchers and prac-
titioners in the field of ADSs UI design?
* What can both communities learn from each other in terms of inter-
action studies, both in the lab and in the field?
* What methods and theories are applied in HRI and what methods and
theories build the common ground for ADS interaction design? What do
they have in common? How do they differ?
* Different cultural regions have different moral standards. How can we
make sure that robots/vehicles with different normative systems can
interact with users in a "unified friendly way"?
* Considering multi-robot settings (home robots, tele-operation, ADSs,
etc.): What conflict resolution strategies, i.e., when reaching a
deadlock, are applied? Communalities between robots and ADSs?
* Who should be the one to make ethical decisions, in particular in
situations with potentially fatal consequences? Humans (strong
intuition, unreliable, consistent with Asimov's first rule) or robots
(precise, robust, inconsistent with Asimov's first rule)?
-----------------------------| SUBMISSIONS |----------------------------
The target audience for this workshop are researchers and practitioners
in the HRI community, who are interested in the field of automated cars.
Besides that, we also invite HCI/UI designers (with affinity to the
vehicle domain) and ADSs engineers that are interested in HRI.
We invite participants to submit 1-4 page position papers (in the IEEE
format used for the RO-MAN main conference) describing a crisp, self-
contained problem in the field of the workshop. Successful submissions
will have the potential to raise discussion, provide insights for other
attendees, or illustrate problems and provide potential solutions.
Please submit your contribution via Email to <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> and
use the template provided by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society at
<http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/>
Submissions need not to be anonymous. However, reviews will be done
anonymously using an evaluation form. Each paper will receive at least
two reviews. The selection of workshop participants will be done by a
review process. Final decisions of accepting or rejecting a paper will
be made by the organizers of the workshop based on the review scores
and with respect to offering all workshop participants an interesting,
diversified program.
------------------| IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE WORKSHOP |------------------
* Submission deadline: June 25th, 2017
* Notification of acceptance: July 9th, 2017
* Camera ready version due: July 20th, 2017
