=== Workshop Objectives ===


Despite heightened awareness of the risks robotic systems present to
underrepresented groups, the need for increased action on Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Human-Robot Interaction (HRl) has not been
met. This workshop aims to make the HRI community more diverse and
inclusive so that underrepresented groups can participate in the creation
of HRI systems and also expand HRI research methods, robot designs, and
applications to be more diverse and inclusive.


This workshop explores the research questions: What does DEI mean for robot
design, application, and HRI research methods? How can we promote DEI
within HRI? Our goal is to raise awareness of the importance of DEI issues
in HRI among the wider HRI community so that we can achieve an inclusive
HRI in the real world.


Another goal of this workshop is to build a community and solidarity among
researchers in HRI who work on and are affected by the various and related
issues around DEI.



=== Overview and Final Program ===


DEI in HRI will consist of keynote talks from invited speakers, a panel
discussion between all speakers, presentations of short contributions,
