by the use of generative multimodal AIs in social robotics. For this purpose, RP2024 will bring together international researchers from the Humanities and social sciences (specializing in HRI), social robotics, and computer science.

<i>Robophilosophy Conference Series</i> so far has featured the world’s largest events for
<b>Humanities research in and on social robotics</b>. Given the urgency of research-based regulations, experts on society and experts on technology need to collaborate more closely. RP2024 challenges Humanities researchers to showcase how conceptual and phenomenological
research can contribute to this collaborative effort; RP2024 challenges engineers to take their new responsibilities seriously and to contribute technical facts and prospects to this interdisciplinary event.
