field of HRI is increasingly employing humanoid robots and
anthropomorphic designs to aid social interactions between humans and
robots. However, designing robots with human-like characteristics can
have far-reaching implications. For instance, integrating identity
markers such as gender into robotic systems can involuntarily transfer
implicit biases into the human-robot interaction (HRI) and perpetuate
harmful structural patterns and societal stereotypes. This Special Issue

welcome original papers investigating the attribution of gender to
social robots, the influence of robot’s gender on the perception of and
interaction with robots (e.g., acceptance, trust), the design of
gendered robots, and its ethical and societal implications. Through this
special issue, we would like to inspire discussions about the mindful
use of robots in society and promote the possibility of using robots to
challenge harmful social practices (e.g., gender stereotypes, gender
inequality). Our ultimate goal is to bridge the communication gap we
observed between the different disciplines addressing the topic of
gender in robotics and the lack of spaces to converse with and learn
from one another. </span></span></p><p style="color:rgb(14,16,26);background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></span></p><p style="color:rgb(14,16,26);background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(14,16,26);background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">The
