Ran Workshop at HRI 2026

On the 16th of March, we ran our third Worker-Robot Relations (WRRs) workshop at the Human-Robot Interaction Conference in Edinburgh. This year we focused on world-building around WRRs to create rich futures for a number of domains. We are thrilled to have had Ann Pendleton-Julian as keynote speaker, and as our world-building coach. 

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to lead a team of amazing people in bringing this workshop together. Thank you J. Micah Prendergast, Alessandro Ianniello, Dave Murray-Rust, Maria Luce Lupetti, Marco Rozendaal , Benedetta Lusi, Olger Siebinga, Deborah Forster, Eva Verhoef, and David Abbink.

And a big thank you to our amazing participants for choosing to attend our workshop and try something new.
