Abstract (may include machine translation)

Research in joint action focuses on the psychological, neurological, and physical mechanisms by which humans collabo-rate with other agents, and overlaps with several domains related to human-robot interaction. The development of artificial systems that can support or emulate the requisite aspects of joint action could lead to improved human-robot team performance as well as improvements in subjective metrics (e.g., trust). This workshop highlights theoretical and technical considerations about human-robot joint action and real-time adaptation, with a particular focus on socio-motor entrainment, showing how the emulation of psychological mechanisms (e.g., emotion, intention signaling, mirroring) can lead to improved performance. We will invite speakers with backgrounds in robotics, neuroscience and psychol-ogy, as well as speakers with a focus in adjacent works, such as in human-robot coordinated dance, alignment, or synchronization. We will call for papers that utilize the theory of joint-action in an interactive human-robot context. We will also call for position papers on the application of the theory of joint action to robotics, with a heavy focus on psychological mechanisms that could potentially be emulated or adapted to a human-robot context. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm considerations and techniques that would be applicable to joint action inspired works through breakout sessions with the aim to lead to new and improved collaborations across fields.
