From lynn.derijk at ru.nl Fri May 10 01:36:22 2024 From: lynn.derijk at ru.nl (Rijk, L.E.M. de (Lynn)) Date: Fri, 10 May 2024 07:36:22 +0000 Subject: [emcai] Last EMCA/AI meeting before summer: May 24 Message-ID: Dear EMCA/AI network members, Our last meeting before summer break will be on Friday, May 24, 12.30-14.00 CET. Zoom Link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/69884330110 Damien and Mathias thought out a wonderful subject for a discussion session, namely divergent assumptions as to what "interaction" is in "human-machine interaction" The idea is to discuss assumptions in HRI/HCI about "interactions" involving robots or artificial agents. What do we (EMCA researchers, non-EMCA-oriented HRI researchers, engineers, designers, tech companies' employees, etc.) respectively index when we formulate phrases such as ?conversing with a robot?, ?interacting with a vocal agent?, etc.? Are there diverging (un)acknowledged assumptions about these phenomena in HRI/HCI research or in the industry (e.g., regarding action/agency/recipiency)? We invite you to bring any data that could highlight specific assumptions about "human-machine interaction? that you would like to discuss and present: your favorite HRI/HCI/design paper, a commercial robot?s technical documentation that describes what a ?human-robot interaction? is or should be, design documents, quotes from industry professionals, ethnographic observations, etc. Appreciating that many perspectives in HRI/HCI will be distinct from EM/CA starting points, we want to focus on what we can learn from understanding these divergent perspectives - can we, for example, try to ?steelman? characterizations that diverge from our own (noting of course that ?our own? might also not be a monolith)? Looking forward to seeing you!

We are looking for a PhD candidate that will be working in an interdisciplinary project on human-centered development of VR-games for blind people. The project is placed at Aalborg University in Denmark. The PhD will be working close together with another PhD from engineering (second link) https://www.stillinger.aau.dk/phd-stillinger/vis-stilling/vacancyId/1219047 https://www.stillinger.aau.dk/phd-stillinger/vis-stilling/vacancyId/1219040 best Antonia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
