Theory of Mind in Human-Robot Interaction

The ability to understand and acknowledge others' mental states is known
as the Theory of Mind (ToM). Theory of Mind is a multi-modal system
people use to communicate and understand each other naturally. A growing
group of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research focuses on investigating
whether people form ToM towards robots, and what level of ToM a robot
should have to communicate transparently with the humans in their shared
environment in a sociable and accepted way. Robots that encounter humans
should be able to perform transparent motions and behaviours, and, at
the same time, be able to clearly recognise the humans’ intentions and
behaviours. In this session, we want to explore which cognitive skills a
robot needs and how ToM affects communications in all aspects of
human-robot interaction. We further want to investigate the principal
components that can contribute to this research direction. In
particular, we aim to define and explore the needed level of shared
mental models between people and robots for effectively planning,
navigating, manipulating objects and the environment, and transparently
communicating.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

    Theory of Mind in HRI
    Cognitive robotics
    Mental models in HRI
    Robot etiquette
    Explainable AI in HRI
    Cooperation and collaboration in human-robot teams
    Detection and understanding of human activity
    Monitoring of behaviour and internal states of humans
    Motion planning and navigation in human-centred environments
    Multi-modal situation awareness and spatial cognition
    Social intelligence for robots in interactive and non-interactive tasks

PDF Submissions will be possible via https://ras.papercept.net/ using
the special session category and code 'g19y9'. Accepted papers will be
included in the conference proceedings and submissions should follow the
guidelines for regular paper submissions
(https://www.ro-man2025.org/contributing/regularpaper), i.e. 6 (+2 paid
extra) pages in the required IEEE US Letter format. Authors will have to
declare that the research presented in the submitted papers complies
with the IEEE Code of Ethics.
