Workshop on “Human-Machine Collaboration in Embodied Interaction” (HAMAC)

As digital technology is now pervasive in our everyday life, increasingly complex elements of human behaviour and cognition must be considered in the design of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Future uses could increasingly involve human learning and creativity, with technologies enabling personalisation and appropriation. Important questions stem from these emerging issues in HCI, which can be conceived of as collaborating, cooperating, delegating, competing, negotiating or communicating. By bringing together world-renowned researchers in HCI, health, robotics, and the arts, the goal of the HAMAC workshop is thus to provoke, gather and challenge various views on possible paradigms related to Human-Machine Collaboration.
