Human-Robot Interaction

As part of a DARPA/NSF Study on Human-Robot Interaction, an interdisciplinary workshop was conceived, which would allow roboticists to interact with psychologists, sociologists, cognitive scientists, communication experts and human-computer interaction specialists to discuss common interests in the field of Human-Robot Interaction, and to establish a dialogue across the disciplines for future collaborations. Over sixty representatives from academia, government and industry gathered together on the campus of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, on September 29 and 30, 2001, and the results of that meeting are presented in this Final Report. We include initial work that was done in preparation for the workshop, links to keynote and other presentations, and a summary of the findings, outcomes and recommendations that were generated by the participants. A brief overview of the findings of the study is included here:
