Join us for an engaging workshop exploring the systematic evaluation of social dynamics in human-robot interaction using the ROSaS questionnaire.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and students interested in human-robot interaction to participate in this workshop. Participants will form small collaborative groups to explore specific aspects of social robotics evaluation using the ROSaS questionnaire.
During the workshop, each group will develop and write a short paper (4-6 pages) documenting their findings, methodological insights, and practical applications. These papers will be peer-reviewed by workshop organizers and published in the workshop proceedings on arXiv, ensuring wide dissemination of the knowledge generated during our collaborative session.
Papers should address one or more of the following areas:
Participants will receive guidance on paper preparation and submission throughout the workshop. Final manuscripts will be submitted within two weeks after the workshop.
<aside> Important: Workshop attendance and active participation in group activities are required for paper publication in the proceedings.

As social robots become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, it's crucial to develop effective ways to evaluate how humans interact with and perceive these robotic systems. Our workshop introduces the ROSaS questionnaire - a powerful tool for measuring both the technical and social aspects of human-robot interaction.
Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, participants will learn how to use the ROSaS tool to assess robot sociability, human-likeness, and the uncanny valley effect. You'll gain practical experience in prototyping social robots while exploring how different design choices influence human perception and acceptance.
This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and students to share insights and refine evaluation methods for social robotics. Whether you're new to the field or an experienced researcher, you'll leave with valuable tools and perspectives for designing more effective human-robot interfaces.
