Introduction to the Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence for Human–Robot Interaction (AI-HRI).

This article is an introduction to a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (ACM THRI) that focuses on the interface between artificial intelligence (AI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). The issue includes 11 articles that cover a wide range of topics, including teleoperation, shared control, teaching robots, monitoring autonomous robots, augmented reality interfaces, predicting team motions, planning for adaptation in collaborative tasks, automating gesture generation, and the impact of vulnerability on trust in HRI. The articles present innovative computational techniques and systems that demonstrate the state-of-the-art in AI-HRI research. [Extracted from the article]
