Preface for the 1st edition of the international Robots for Humans (RfH) workshop

In recent years, the research field of Human-Robot Interaction has become crucial to understanding and designing the technological future. New methods and approaches in this field are urgently needed to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing landscape. In this workshop, we proposed that the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and HumanRobot Interaction (HRI) offers methodological opportunities while highlighting the new challenges that robot integration into society will face. In this perspective, humans bridge society, computers, and robots. Thus, the workshop proposed reflections on how embracing a human-centred design approach can help prioritise people's empowerment in society and collaborate with robots.
