From perception failures to unpredictable human behavior, our aim is to foster honest reflection, critical dialogue, and a culture of failing forward. <o:p></o:p>🗓 29 August 2025<o:p></o:p>📍 Eindhoven, at IEEE RO-MAN 2025<o:p></o:p>🌐 Workshop website: <a href="https://www.pubrob.org/events/2025">https://www.pubrob.org/events/2025</a> <o:p></o:p>💡 We believe that sharing what didn’t work can be just as valuable as celebrating what did. As part of the workshop, we are creating a “Wall of Failures” – a community-driven collection of HRI mishaps, hard lessons, and unexpected outcomes. Contributions are welcome from anyone in the community, whether or not they attend the workshop.
