Methodologies and technologies adopted for detecting and adapting to users� mental states, emotions and dispositions during HRI will be presented and discussed. Experimental protocols and results could also outline possible effects of gender, age, personality and pathology on robot perception from an emotional and affective point of view, as well as ethical considerations regarding learning and using personal data within assistive applications.<o:p></o:p> See our website <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/bailar-2023/" class="OWAAutoLink">https://sites.google.com/view/bailar-2023/</a> for more details on scientific context and objectives. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Target Audience<o:p></o:p> This workshop is intended as a forum for a broad audience, composed of roboticists, psychologists, computer scientists, social and ethics scientists, aiming at discussing the role of adaptation, learning, emotional communication, and mutual affective understanding in HRI for assistive real-world applications, and their potential impact on users� acceptance, especially in terms of usability, efficiency, empathy and their emotional responses. Based on previous editions we can foresee about 80 attendees.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> List of Topics<o:p></o:p> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:<o:p></o:p> *Online adaptive behavior<o:p></o:p> *Acceptability and personalization in HRI<o:p></o:p> *User and behavior modeling for adaptation<o:p></o:p> *Emotion and intention recognition<o:p></o:p> *Multimodal interfaces for emotion recognition<o:p></o:p> *Affective and emotional robots<o:p></o:p> *Empathy in robotics<o:p></o:p> *Mutual affective communication<o:p></o:p> *Affective computing in SAR<o:p></o:p> *Internal state monitoring<o:p></o:p> *Detection of verbal and non-verbal behavioral cues<o:p></o:p> *Lifelong (or continual) learning and adaptation methods in HRI<o:p></o:p> *Short-term personalization in HRI<o:p></o:p> *Incremental and online learning in HRI<o:p></o:p> *Robot behavior explainability and legibility<o:p></o:p> *Theory of Mind in Robotics<o:p></o:p> *Understandable Communication<o:p></o:p> *Ethical Aspects of Affective HRI communication and personalization in SAR<o:p></o:p> *Evaluation metrics for adaptive robot behavior <o:p></o:p> *WORKSHOP SCHEDULE* The virtual workshop will be on August 31, 2023.
