Human-Robot Interaction

The spread of robotics in many sectors of human life is driving researchers to focus more and more on human-robot interaction (HRI). This multidisciplinary field addresses all of the issues related to the interaction between robots and people. HRI incorporates contributions from artificial intelligence, cognitive science, human factors, psychology and social science, among others. This paper provides a summary of the main themes of HRI from the point of view of both technology and the user experience.
