Workshop on "Societal Impact: How Socially Accepted Robots Can be Integrated in our Society" - HRI2009
Miscellaneous publication.
This workshop will discuss possible methodological approaches
to evaluate social acceptance and societal impact of Human-
Robot Interaction (HRI) with a special focus on collabora-
tion with robots. This workshop will be held as a follow
up to the workshop \Robots as Social Actors: Evaluating
Social Acceptance and Societal Impact of Robotic Agents,
which was held during IEEE Ro-Man 2008. This time we
will intensify the focus on how social acceptance measure-
ment approaches can give insights on societal impact and
on scenarios of future societies where robots will play an in-
tegral part. Pros and cons of existing evaluation methods
should be discussed to develop new variations and advance-
ments for assessing social acceptance and societal impact of
robotic agents \look and feel".
