Aim

***

The purposely combination of the skills and computational capabilities of
robotics platforms with human expertise and know-how is crucial to realize
effective robotic services in real-world ecological environments. In these
scenarios, it is an emerging necessity to create human-mediated systems
where the robot is in charge of performing some tasks autonomously under
the human’s supervision and by requiring the (occasional) intervention of
the users during the interaction. Human knowledge is expected to directly
(e.g., through shared control and shared autonomy) and/or indirectly (e.g.,
through requisite specification) guide robot autonomy in order to realize
robot behaviors that are in line with the desired domain objectives, safe
and acceptable by involved human users. However, designing the robot’s
behaviors mediated by humans and defining how and when to merge human
knowledge with the robot’s capabilities is still an open challenge that
requires collaboration and dialogue among different figures. In this
respect, research should push the design and development of novel
technologies, methodologies, and models that facilitate communication, and
sharing of knowledge among the different stakeholders (e.g., roboticists,
domain experts, and end-users) as well as facilitate the integration of the
resulting (potentially conflicting) requirements. This special session,
therefore, aims at fostering the dialogue among the different stakeholders
involved in the design and deployment of novel human-mediated robotic
services in real-world scenarios with particular attention to the following
topics: a) co-design and definition of requirements; b) methods and
algorithms; c) metrics and common benchmarks; d) ethical regulations; e)
hybrid approaches to improve legibility of robot behaviors and
communication with humans in general. Given the multidisciplinary nature of
the proposed Special Session and the scientific, technological, and ethical
impact of such emerging human-robot interaction paradigms, it perfectly
fits with the audience of RO-MAN and with the theme of the current edition
based on the design of a new bridge for H-R-I as well as the Intelligent
interface and Interaction sub-theme.
