It has interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary roots in robotics, social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, engineering, and many other disciplines. Each year, the HRI conference highlights a particular theme. For HRI 2018, the theme is “Robots for Social Good.”
