We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the AMCIS 2019 Mini-track, Human-Robot Interactions in Information Systems. The track is under the Cognitive Research in IS. The AMCIS 2019 conference will take place in Cancún, México, between 15th and 17th of August 2019.

HRI in IS Mini-track Description:

This mini-track aims to enhance our understanding of human robot interactions an emerging area in Information Systems. This mini-track seeks to solicit submissions from a range of topics pertaining to the cognitive and behavioral aspects of interactions with robots and artificial intelligence (AI) and their corresponding outcomes. This includes empirical studies and conceptual frameworks which seek to theoretically advance our knowledge of the topic.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Promoting the performance of individuals, teams, and organizations working with robots

Adoption and appropriation of robots

• Empirical studies examining cognitive, psychological, emotional, and social aspects of human-robot collaboration

• Theoretical frameworks for human-robot interaction

• Case studies of human-robot interaction

• Design implications for robots in the workplace and home

• Work practices which focused on human-robot collaboration

• New methodological approaches to studying human-robot interactions
