Experts and the general public have come to recognize the key role that machines play in shaping human reactions and influencing human behavior. Whether purposefully or not, machines are being crafted in ways that take advantage of the natural cognitive pitfalls of the human brain and perpetuate skewed, if not harmful human biases. From the algorithms we are exposed to online to the way the robots we interact with are designed, we and the machines we make are at the heart of this crucial and pervasive challenge. We can no longer ignore it. Yet, how to effectively tackle this multifaceted challenge, one that is experienced on the user side as well as within us\u2014designers, developers, engineers, and researchers\u2014remains an open question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One possibility is to flip the script by conscientiously (re)designing \u201cbots\u201d\u2014robots, chatbots, intelligent agents, and other autonomous machines\u2014that help us grapple with our biases and other cognitive pitfalls as well as augment metacognition and decision-making in our daily lives. To do this, we will need to bring together the latest advances in the fields of metacognition and robotics. We will need to integrate complementary, critical trajectories of research and methods in the human sciences as well as the science of machines. We will need to go beyond our disciplinary boundaries and develop new research questions, adapt our experimental designs, and shift our robotics praxis to establish this research field and make headway on this widespread problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"alignwide-wrap\" data-block=\"columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center is-style-default has-palette-3-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-screen-reader-text has-palette-3-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Part of RO-MAN 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The first-ever half-day Bots Against Bias workshop at IEEE RO-MAN 2021 will be held online on Sun Aug 8<sup>th<\/sup> @ 17:00 (PST) \/ Mon Aug 9<sup>th<\/sup> @ 9:00 (JST).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-style-large is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-palette-1-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/ro-man2021.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RO-MAN 2021 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide-wrap\" data-block=\"columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38.2%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objectives<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:61.8%\">\n<p>This new half-day workshop will bring together a diverse gathering of researchers and practitioners invested in confronting the challenge of bias and metacognition head-on through the rigorous and conscientious design of bots and their study. The intended audience and their backgrounds will be multidisciplinary: from cognitive robotics to social robotics, spanning the fields of human-robot interaction (HRI), human-agent interaction (HAI), and human-computer interaction (HCI), including expertise on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), and incorporating relevant topics from cognitive science, psychology, ergonomics\/human factors (HF\/E), education, neuroscience, and more. The goal of this inaugural workshop is twofold: (i) to establish a research agenda supplemented by start-up research, and (ii) to launch an international network of like-minded researchers and practitioners who will collaborate on next steps. The following themes will be the focus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Robotic aids for metacognition and decision-making<\/li><li>Intelligent agents for supporting and enhancing human cognition<\/li><li>Social and educational robots for anti-bias training and prevention<\/li><li>Human behavior modelling and metacognition strategies<\/li><li>Individual and social models of bias and metacognition<\/li><li>Acceptance and trust of bots as metacognitive aids and partners<\/li><li>Algorithmic bias and critical deconstructions of bias in robot design<\/li><li>Explainable AI, ethical
