Child-Robot Interaction: Social Bonding, Learning and Ethics

This workshop aims to exchange experiences and new ideas concerning issues in Child-Robot Interaction. More specifically, the main aims are to discuss how social bonding between children and robots can be evaluated, how robots can be used to aid children in their learning process, and also what ethical issues arise when children learn from and bond to a robot. Another aim is to discuss how teachers’ and parents’/caretakers’ perspectives on children’s use of robots should be taken into account when designing and evaluating robots for children.
