Connectionists: [meetings] RSS'21 workshop on Robotics for People (R4P)

[Amir Aly]

Dear Colleagues,

We are now accepting submissions to the *Robotics for People: Perspectives
on Interaction, Learning, and Safety* workshop, to be held at the Robotics:
Science and Systems 2021 conference.

This is a full-day workshop that aims to bring together experts from the
Human-Robot Interaction, Machine Learning, and Motion Planning communities
to create a road map for safer, smarter robots.

Our workshop accepts *extended abstracts* (2 pgs excluding references)
and *short/position
papers* (4 pgs excluding references) in IEEE two column format. Papers will
undergo a double-blind peer review process, and accepted papers and posters
will be hosted on our website. We are a non-archival workshop, meaning we
also accept iterations on previous or ongoing work.

The workshop will include keynote talks, a panel debate, a poster session,
and short talks for accepted papers.

Topics for submission include (but are not limited to):

- Decision-making under uncertainty and safety-oriented approaches
- Safety considerations in uncertain, interactive settings
- Safety-critical applications for HRI
- Probabilistic models for robot learning
- Social navigation
- Human-robot collaboration and human behavior modeling
- Multi-agent approaches for human-robot teams
- Calibrating and estimating uncertainty in learned models
- Learning from demonstration
- Human-interactive robot learning
- Cognitive architectures for interactive robots
- HRI datasets, metrics, and benchmarks
- Robot-interpretable human models
- Explainability, transparency, and interpretability
