    Customizing Social Assistant Robots - Concepting Functionalities and Aesthetics
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Paananen, Siiri; Eckhoff, Emma; Häkkilä, Jonna; Ahtinen, Aino; Väänänen, Kaisa
    In this paper, we discuss customizing of social robots, including personal assistant robots, focusing on aesthetics and functionalities. The results of a robot co-design workshop related to customizing social robots are presented. The proposed customization examples include items such as clothes, accessories and different visuals and sounds for various scenarios and tasks, including home and remote work settings.

    Personalizing Robot Avatars - Opening the Discussion
    (Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Häkkilä, Jonna; Paananen, Siiri; Väänänen, Kaisa
    In this paper, we discuss on the possibilities of personalizing a robot avatar, which may become a realistic use case with the remote presence technologies become more popular. We present an initial user study, where workshop participants (n=7) present their ideas of outlook characteristics and use cases for a personal robot avatar.

    Quadrupedal Robot Dog as an Attraction in a Local Outdoor Event for Live Streaming and Engagement
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Paananen, Siiri; Kalving, Matilda; Colley, Jemina; Kirjavainen, Emma; Narbrough, Maxim
    dog to live stream a local outdoor event and how it was received by the public. In this impromptu exploratory work, we discuss the technical set-up, as well as the novelty factor, when interacting with robots in public. We share insights on people reacting to the robot mostly positively and what kind of role robots could play in the future in order to engage people at organized events. In the future, we would like to explore robots in other public settings and contexts, such as hybrid events.

    Robots are an emerging area in human-computer interaction. Although different types of robots have been around for automation and maintenance tasks, they are now emerging more and more towards use cases with social interaction, bringing new opportunities and challenges for the designers. Robots are being integrated into different work and service domains, including office work, healthcare and education. When designing interactive technologies, we need to take into account different user groups, use contexts, and even cultural sensitivities to achieve good user experiences. With robots, also tangible interaction, the form factor, and physical appearance are part of the interactive system design. This workshop addresses interaction with robots, focusing especially on the user experience and social interaction side of it. The workshop invites researchers and practitioners to present their work, or position papers, on the topic and to discuss about related case studies, applications, research methods, and experiences.
