* Symbiotic HRI
* Mutual Understanding and ToM in HRI
* Interaction and collaboration among robots, humans, and environments
* Personal and assistive robots for the home, healthcare, and education
* Robots for entertainment, gaming, and real-life applications (e.g., HRI in-the-wild)
* Robots with personality, human-like traits, and emotion modeling
* Social acceptance, trust, explainability, and learnability in robotic systems
* Ethical considerations and safety in human-centered robotics
* Socially assistive robots for improving QoL and supporting the elderly and disabled
* Robot applications in welfare and healthcare environments
* Understanding sociality, social impact, and adapting to different users.
* HRI and collaboration in Creative Robotic Theatre and Performances
