The workshop is designed for a wide range of participants representative of the HRI community’s diverse discipline backgrounds to engage in the topic of PD. Our intended audience includes roboticists, design researchers, artists, engineers, computer scientists, and social scientists interested in learning about or deploying PD in their research and practice. We invite researchers who have experience with PD and people who are interested in the area and/or new to PD.

Interested participants are invited to submit a 1- to 2-page response addressing the following questions:

• What problems are central to your work? What problems are you seeking to solve in your work?
• What communities do you work with? What communities are engaged in the problems you are trying to solve?
• What methods have you used so far in your work? (participatory and otherwise)
• Why participatory design? Why do you choose to use this methodology? Or why are you interested in using this methodology?
  • If you currently use PD, how many years have you been working in PD?

Interested participants should also submit a short bio and one-page CV to allow the organizers to understand the composition of disciplines of interested participants and to support discipline diversity at the workshop.

Relevant topics that interested participants may draw on include, but not limited to:

• The purpose and value of PD in HRI
• Translation of or adaption of PD for HRI
• How researcher background and expertise informs PD practices
• The value of interdisciplinarity in PD in HRI
• How PD can best be supported and deployed in HRI
• Ethical concerns HRI researchers need to examine when engaging in PD
• How to learn from the community about best PD practices for HRI
