Abstract: Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are key factors in the development of robot systems that interact with people in the real world. Without such considerations, biases toward underrepresented groups can exacerbate discrimination and perpetuate harm. The human-robot interaction (HRI) community must urgently take action to prevent this. This workshop addresses these issues by providing a forum to build community, share experiences, and disseminate research findings on DEI considerations in HRI.
