We strongly believe that Humanoids 2024 is an ideal venue to present recent successes and next steps in human-robot-avatar interaction and collaboration. This workshop is aimed not only at bringing together researchers from human-robot interaction, cybernetics avatars and interactive machine learning fields, but also at creating valuable collaborations, and attracting more roboticists into this growing community.

Intended audience

We strongly believe that HUMANOIDS 2024 is an ideal venue to present recent successes and next steps in human-robot interaction with cybernetics avatars. This workshop is aimed not only at bringing together researchers from human-robot interaction, cybernetic avatars and interactive machine learning fields, but also at creating valuable collaborations, and attracting more roboticists into this growing community.

Relationship to the conference proper

Research on Human-Robot-Avatar Interaction has grown substantially, due to modern advances in technology, materials, and systems of perception and control. Nevertheless, this topic is still new in comparison to other research areas in robotics. This workshop is needed to give the researches the opportunity to present their current work on this topics.

Structure of the event

• Introduction by the organizers

The organizers will briefly introduce the current state-of-art in the field of human robot interaction and cybernetic avatars. They will then propose future challenges to be tackled to foster further discussions along the workshop.

• Talks given by experts in the fields related to the workshop topics

Experts in different fields will share their works and experience in HRI and cybernetic, and the relation between these two important topics (please see the list of speakers above, depends on confirmation). They will also be encouraged to give their opinions and thoughts about the current and future problems in the field, providing different perspectives according to their areas of research.

• Panel discussion
• Closing remarks

The organizers will present a review of the most relevant presented ideas, and new frontiers to be carried out in the next future.
