This full-day workshop addresses the problems of accessibility in HRI and the interplay of ethical considerations for disability-centered design and research, accessibility concerns for disabled researchers, and the design of assistive HRI technologies.
The workshop will include keynote speakers from academia and industry, a discussion with expert academic, industry, and disability advocate panelists, and activities and breakout sessions designed to facilitate conversations about the accessibility of the HRI community, assistive technology researchers, and research ethics from all areas of HRI (technical, social, psychological, design, etc.) We will explore guidelines around research ethics in this area of HRI, as well as new directions for this area of research.
The workshop will use a hybrid format to allow participants who due to disability, geographic, financial, or other constraints, are unable to travel.
Call for Contributions
We invite authors to submit:
- extended abstracts up to 2 pages, excluding references)
- short papers (up to 4 pages, excluding references)
on a range of topics relevant to ethics, accessibility, and assistive applications in HRI, including:
- Design papers on human-centered or anti-ableist assistive technology
- Experience reports: personal reflections on disabilities and assistive robotics (see https://assets23.sigaccess.org/experience-reports.html for a description)
- Critical reflections on past or ongoing research projects related to disability
- Methodological or tutorial papers on best practices in disability-centered HRI
- Position papers on topics related to disability-centered HRI
- Papers from those outside the traditional HRI community with insight into disability-centered HRI
Submissions should conform to the HRI 2024 submission instructions on format, anonymity, and accessibility. All submissions should be made following the general ACM SIG format (“sigconf”, double column format) and not the SIGCHI format. Templates can be found here or on Overleaf directly.
