The ability of understanding and acknowledging others' mental states is
known as Theory of Mind (ToM). Theory of Mind is a multi-modal system used
by people to naturally communicate and understand each other. 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. In this session, we want to
probe deeper in the principal lines that can contribute towards 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.

The topics covered in this special session include, but are not limited to:

   -

   Cognitive robotics
   -

   Mental models in HRI
   -

   Robot etiquette
   -

   Theory of Mind in HRI
   -

   XAI in HRI
   -

   Cooperation and collaboration in human-robot teams
   -

   Detection and understanding 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
