Human-robot interaction design retreat - Robohub

The Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Design Retreat, held earlier in 2025, convened experts from both academia and industry to focus on the future of design in human-robot interaction. Over two days, participants engaged in hands-on, interactive activities aimed at exploring how HRI design can evolve and collaboratively developed a strategic roadmap for the next five to ten years in this field. The event was organized by Patrícia Alves-Oliveira and Anastasia Kouvaras Ostrowski. The retreat emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to shape the trajectory of HRI design, addressing challenges and opportunities in integrating robots more effectively and intuitively into human environments. Additional resources, including a short documentary about the retreat, are available for those interested in learning more about the discussions and outcomes. The event was covered by Robohub, with Lucy Smith serving as Senior Managing Editor.
