It’s not you, it’s us: Designing for Group Human-Robot Interaction

My talk will discuss the need to consider group dynamics in HRI in everyday contexts, both in terms of mixed groups of humans and robots interacting with each other, and in terms of having robots in spaces of daily living, where they are likely to interact with people in groups. I will use our HRI studies to extract specific design recommendations and requirements that will be important to keep in mind for designing robots that can interact with people in such group circumstances.
