*Motivation and Goals*

-----

Mind attribution refers to “the cognitive capacity to reflect upon one’s
own and other persons’ mental states such as beliefs, desires, feelings and
intentions”. A growing group of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research
recently focuses on investigating whether people form mental models towards
robots, and how robots are able to mentalize. However, there is currently
no consensus about what types of data qualify as proof of mind attribution
to robots, and the ability to reason about false beliefs can improve the
quality of the HRI, including transparency of robots’ behaviors,
naturalness of the communication, etc. To tackle down these challenges, in
this special session, we want to start by (1) fostering a shared
terminology used to denote mind attribution, (2) unraveling

determinants and consequences of mind attribution in HRI, and (3) sharing
best practices in methods used to study mind attribution to robots in terms
of stimulus materials and measures. Notably, accepted topics include, but
are not limited to:

•      Explainable AI (XAI) in HRI

•      Multi-modal situation awareness and spatial cognition

•      Social intelligence for robots in interactive and non-interactive
tasks

•      Verifications Methods for autonomous agents

•      Legibility, Predictability and Transparency in HRI

•      Cognitive robotics

•      Deception in HRI

•      Robot cheating in HRI

•      Theory of Mind, Mental models in HRI

•      Robot etiquette and social norms

•      Modelling Trust and Acceptance in HRI
