HRI is a premier, highly-selective meeting presenting the latest advances in the field, with broad participation from a range of scholars, including roboticists, social scientists, designers, engineers, and many others. HRI presents the latest advancements in technical, design, behavioural, theoretical, methodological, and metrological ideas in HRI. The theme of this year’s conference is “Real World Human-Robot Interaction,” reflecting on recent trends in our community toward creating and deploying systems that can facilitate real-world, long-term interaction. This theme also reflects a new theme area we have introduced at HRI this year, “Reproducibility for Human Robot Interaction,” which is key to realizing this vision and helping further our scientific endeavors. This trend was also reflected across our other four theme areas, including “Human-Robot Interaction User Studies,” “Technical Advances in Human-Robot Interaction,” “Human-Robot Interaction Design,” and “Theory and Methods in Human- Robot Interaction.” The conference attracted 279 full paper submissions from around the world, including Asia, Australia, the Middle East, North America, South America, and Europe. Each submission was overseen by a dedicated theme chair and reviewed by an expert group of program committee members, who worked together with the program chairs to define and apply review criteria appropriate to each of the five contribution types. All papers were reviewed by a strict double-blind review process, followed by a rebuttal period, and shepherding if deemed appropriate by the program committee. Ultimately the committee selected 66 papers (23.6%) for presentation as full papers at the conference. As the conference is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE, papers are archived in the ACM Digital Library and the IEEE Xplore. Along with the full papers, the conference program and proceedings include Late Breaking Reports, Videos, Demos, a Student Design Competition, and an alt.HRI section. Out of 183 total submissions, 161 (88%) Late Breaking Reports (LBRs) were accepted and will be presented as posters at the conference. A full peer-review and meta-review process ensured that authors of LBR submissions received detailed feedback on their work. Nine short videos were accepted for presentation during a dedicated video session. The program also includes 12 demos of robot systems that participants will have an opportunity to interact with during the conference. We continue to include an alt.HRI session in this year’s program, consisting of 8 papers (selected out of 43 submissions, 19%) that push the boundaries of thought and practice in the field. We are also continuing the Student Design Competition with 11 contenders, to encourage student participation in the conference and enrich the program with design inspiration and insights developed by student teams. The conference will include 6 full- day and 6 half-day workshops on a wide array of topics, in addition to the selective Pioneers Workshop for burgeoning HRI students. 5 To accommodate the growth of our conference, this year HRI is organized as a single-track conference for 2.5 days, and dual track on the final day. Our goal is to provide sufficient time for presentations, discussions, and informal meeting and networking. It also allowed us to continue to support student design presentations, demonstrations, and sponsor talks. Over the course of four full days, we will have a rich offering of keynote sessions, oral presentations, posters, and demos. Keynote speakers will reflect the interdisciplinary nature and vigour of our community. Ayanna Howard, the Linda J. and Mark C. Smith Professor and Chair of the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will talk about ‘Are We Trusting AI Too Much? Examining Human-Robot Interactions in the Real World’, Stephanie Dinkins, a transmedia artist who creates platforms for dialog about artificial intelligence (AI) as it intersects race, gender, aging, and our future histories, and Dr Lola Cañamero, Reader in Adaptive Systems and Head of the Embodied Emotion, Cognition and (Inter-)Action Lab in the School of Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, will talk about ‘Embodied Affect for Real-World HRI’. HRI 2020 is held in the UK for the first time, in the historic university city of Cambridge. The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209 and it is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world’s fourth-oldest surviving university. Cambridge will provide visitors with a unique experience of the 800-years of academic tradition as well as opportunities for exploring the beautiful Cam and connecting with the Silicon Fen which is home to a large cluster of high-tech businesses focusing on software, electronics and biotechnology. The conference program promises to be exciting, with coverage of the most important current research directions. We hope your experience at HRI 2020 is rewarding both professionally and personally. We greatly appreciate the significant volunteer efforts of the program committee, organizing committee, reviewers, and steering committee in making this conference possible. We are thankful as well for the generous support of our sponsors. The Technical Sponsor of HRI 2020 are the Association for Computing Machinery, in participation with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

  • ROYAL SOCIETY PAIRING SCHEME by Professor Ruth Aylett and Ian Murray MP
    ROYAL SOCIETY PAIRING SCHEME Every year the Royal Society arranges partners between parliamentarians and civil servants with scientists. Its annual Pairing Scheme starts with the ‘Week in Westminster’ in late November, a programme of activities for the scientists including seminars, workshops, shadowing opportunities and a tour of Westminster. The week gives the scientists a taste, not only of the approach to science policy, but of Parliament and the Civil Service in general.

  • AISB 2013 2Nd-5Th April 2013 University of Exeter, Exeter
    AISB 2013 2nd-5th April 2013 University of Exeter, Exeter, England Symposium: Artificial Intelligence and Poetry http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ruth/ai&p.html Call for papers OVERVIEW Poetry represents a valuable domain for AI, exemplifying fundamental aspects of creativity which, in the view of proponents of Lady Lovelace’s objection that computers can do nothing original, focus strongly the differences between machines and humans. Poetry also exemplifies hard problems of practical AI, in natural language generation, expressive speech and non-verbal behaviour. This one day workshop will provide strong opportunities for synergies amongst researchers and practitioners in AI, Literature, Performance Arts, Philosophy and Psychology. TOPICS WILL INCLUDE: * AI generated poetry; * AI performance of poetry; * expressive voice and body language for poetry performance; * history of mechanical/algorithmic poetry generation and performance; * socio-technical aspects of AI & poetry; * philosophical aspects of AI & poetry; * evaluating AI poetry systems. We explicitly exclude human poetry about AI. SUBMISSIONS We are seeking submissions of original: * papers; * recordings, videos and performances accompanied by written documentation; that fit well with the symposium theme and topics. Papers/documentation should be no more than 6 pages in length in the AISB convention format – see below. Electronic submissions should be made via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aip13 At least one author of each accepted submission will be required to register and attend the symposium to present their work. Download PDF example Download LaTeX Download MS Word PUBLICATION All papers/documentation from the AISB convention will be published in the AISB proceedings, with an ISBN number.

The convention consisted of these symposia together in four parallel tracks with five plenary talks; all papers other than the plenaries were given as talks within the symposia. This symposium-based format, which has been the standard for AISB conventions for many years, encourages collabora- tion and discussion among a wide variety of disciplines. Although each symposium is self contained, the convention as a whole represents a diverse array of topics from philosophy, psychology, computer science and cognitive science under the common umbrella of artificial intelligence and the simulation of behaviour. We would like to thank the symposium organisers and their programme committees for their hard work in publicising their symposium, attracting and reviewing submissions and compiling this volume. Without these interesting, high quality symposia the convention would not be possible.

  • Dr Miguel Angel Beltrán
    Open Letter to President Juan Manuel Santos Dear Mr. President, We, the undersigned, are writing to demand the immediate release from prison of Colombian academic Dr Miguel Angel Beltran. Dr Beltran has been imprisoned since May 2009 without being convicted of any crime whatsoever. He has been accused of 'rebellion' and branded a terrorist by the Colombian State, yet no evidence has been provided to back up the allegations. We are deeply concerned that Dr Beltran, like so many others in Colombia, has been jailed for his political beliefs rather than for any crime; that he is being deprived of his liberty in order to silence him and discourage others like him from speaking out. We believe that academic freedom and freedom of expression are fundamental rights, and a pillar of democratic society, but Dr Beltran’s ongoing detention shows that Colombia currently respects neither. We therefore urge you to order his immediate release. The large number of political prisoners in Colombia's jails – be they academics, trade unionists, community leaders or other civil society activists – belies claims that human rights are being respected by the Colombian State. We urge you to put an end to this shameful situation without delay. Yours sincerely, Professor Sir Richard Roberts, Nobel Prize Winner Professor Sir John Ball, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy, University of Oxford Professor Dame Janet Nelson, Emeritus Professor of History, King's College London Alan Whitaker, President, University and College Union Terry Hoad, Vice President, University

The present study investigates the effects of a novel virtual learning strategy (“FearNot!”) to tackle bullying in both UK and German samples. The approach is intended primarily for victims to increase their coping skills and further to heighten empathy and defence of victims by non-involved bystanders. This paper focuses on the defender role. Applying quantitative as well as qualitative methodology, the present study found that “FearNot!” helped non-involved children to become defenders in the German sub-sample while it had no such effect in the UK sub-sample.

Narrative is also a valuable vehicle to structure knowledge and to help us in the process of meaning making. Due to the explorative and complex nature of narrative, an intelligent learning environment (ILE) based on a narrative approach can promote several kinds of activities for learners: co-construction: participate in the construction of a narrative; ∑ exploration: engage in active exploration of the learning tasks, following a narrative approach and trying to understand and reason about an environment and its elements; ∑ reflection: engage in consequent analysis of what happened within the learning session.
