Actualised by their human-like shape, motions and behaviours\nsocial humanoid robots have the largest potential of cultural implications for\nan individual.&nbsp;Due to the pandemic with\nit\u2019s plea for \u201csocial distancing\u201d transformations started to develop\ntowards negative cultural values for many. The workshop invites to\nexplore\/test behaviours of social and physical distance considering proxemics,\nkinesics, cloud-computing, situatedness, intimacy, privacy, and audience topics\nof human-robot relations. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extended description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Robotic and artificial\nintelligent artefacts are continuously being introduced more and more into\nhuman everyday life. Those technologies are understood to be the core drivers\nin both \u201cIndustry 4.0\u201d, the dominant trend in industrial production, as well as\nin the robotization of office\/work and domestic environments. Robots and\nartificially intelligent technologies get bundled into all kinds of networked,\nartificial entities meant to be effective agents in complex physical and social\nsurroundings. This may develop into robot cultures just like the industrial\ncultures of western societies turned towards service cultures a few decades ago.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the pandemic, this\ndevelopment got a severe change in route with a new focus. Latest social\ndevelopments plea for \u201csocial distancing\u201d or even for a \u201czero-touch society.\u201d While\nthe consequent realisation of these social developments would result in\nunintended and negative cultural values for many people, it may at the same\ntime accelerate the shift from service cultures to robot cultures \u2013 in which distance\nand untouchability among humans would get automatized \u2013 hence become entrenched\nin society. One of the coming challenges will be to avoid letting social\ndistance become a new cultural value. But paradoxically, at the same time we are\nfaced with the other challenge that calls to introduce robotic and artificial\nintelligent artefacts as social technologies to bridge social gaps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among robotic artefacts,\nsocial humanoid robots have the largest potential for cultural implications \u2013\nactualised by their human-like shape, motions and behaviours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is complicated\nfor robots to move, orient and behave in the banal everyday, humans usually do\nit with ease. Today\u2019s challenge is to continue sociocultural benevolent development\nof these technologies and their clustering into devices that allow cultural\naspects with positive connotations to unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the workshop, the\naudience together with people from H.A.U.S. will translate some of the yet\nstill abstract challenges of the upcoming of robot cultures into scenes that\nelicit certain behaviours yet to be invented. Behaviours that are supposed to\naddress the two crucial questions stated by the conference: \u201dHow can we create\ncultural dynamics with or through social robots that will not impact our value\nlandscape negatively? How could we design human-robot interactions in ways that\nwill positively cultivate the values we, or people anywhere, care about?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We introduce a research method for Human-Robot interaction with dance performance as the epistemic object at its center. Since the beginning of the year the group is working with a new approach with human improvisation and robotic mimicry of human body language (original H.A.U.S. robotic technology). Research interest is focused on creation, co-creation and occupation of sociocultural places and what it entails to live and work in intimate proximity to the replica of a human being. This approach provides access and insights into aspects of interaction that would otherwise not be possible: For humans, these include projections, expectations, affect, emotions, introspection and presence, memory and knowledge. For humanoids, these include changing light and sound conditions, and keeping focus within groups of people, becoming understood by non-verbal language. For both entities it may turn out to develop stronger differentiation but, at the same time both develop behavioural as well as spatial hybrids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will have a humanoid\nrobot at the workshop. There it gets confronted with thoughts of the audience\nand motions of a dancer. Members of he audience are asked to send their topics beforehand:\nresearch interests, discourse topics, questions or terms to be translated into\ninterrelated human-humanoid behaviour, trivia, prototypical scenes of he\neveryday, sociocultural utopias and more. In that way, participants get involved\nin the development of three dance-performance scenes. We will cruise the\nnetwork of influences between concept, choreography, dance, and robot\nprogramming to gain novel insights. These scenes get developed collectively\nfrom abstract thoughts, realised via dance choreography and robot programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop by people from H.A.U.S.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Helena\nFrijns,\n<br>\nHuman-Robot Interaction researcher, programming and controlling our robots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christoph\nHubatschke,\n<br>\nPhilosopher, guiding our discussions and interaction by caring for the chat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eva-Maria\nKraft, <br>\nChoreographer, Dancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas\nA.
