This workshop will provide a forum for the HRI and robotics communities to explore successful human-robot interaction (HRI) to analyse the different aspects of HRI that impact its success. A particular focus of this workshop is to explore successful HRI by designing robots: 1) able to autonomously sense and react to the situation, people and the environment by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques; 2) such that people feel comfortable to interact with robots and trust them to reach intended outcomes, and 3) by adhering to ethical and legal principles.</div> <div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:1.2;text-align:justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">Website: <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/traits-hri" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/view/traits-hri</a></div>Main Conference Date: March 08–11, 2021Workshop Date: March 12th, 2021 (Half-day)<h2 dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:1.2;margin-top:10pt;margin-bottom:0pt">How to Submit</h2><hr style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </div>Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of 2 pages or full papers up to 6 pages on original and unpublished research.
