Additional information for evaluation<\/h1>\n

The organizers of this workshop come from different disciplinary backgrounds (robotics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, industrial engineering, design), but all of us have worked in projects centered on robot design, development, and\/or use.<\/p>\n

We acknowledge the atypical approach taken in this workshop as a strength. The very interactive format should appeal to participants, and the content presented will be provocative and engaging. Human-centered and ethical robotics is increasingly important to policymakers, to regulators, in the media, and to consumers \u2013 and should be taken up by roboticists accordingly. As robots begin to move out of industrial areas and into people\u2019s everyday lives, robot developers increasingly acknowledge a need to adjust their design practices. As noted in our ongoing projects, however, roboticists often struggle to identify and engage with the ethical challenges in their development processes.<\/p>\n

Left unaddressed, human-centered design becomes an important issue, not only with regard to ethics, but also to acceptance and uptake. Some robot designs may affect a potential user\u2019s ability or desire to engage with robots. Design involves constant decision-making, but even mundane or \u2018innocent choices\u2019 like using certain materials (soft or hard), sounds, colors, and software have to be chosen with an awareness of their in- and exclusive aspects. Particular decisions touch upon the ethics, values, gender and stereotypes (EVGS) that are built into the development of robots \u2013issues typically dealt with by social scientists. Thus, we see a need for collaboration with social scientists who study everyday life issues and how robots are met in these settings.<\/p>\n

The aim of this workshop is to explore with the participants how design involves gendered, stereotyped aspects in explicit and implicit ways and to provoke reflection for more conscious and activist design choices, in order to downplaynormativity and promote more ethical and human-centered robot designs.<\/p>\n
