Maaike Bleeker presents paper at HRI’25 in Melbourne

On 4 March 2025, Maaike Bleeker presented the paper ‘The Human-Robot Ensemble: Designing Expressive Movements for Restaurant Service Robots’, written by Hyumin Lee, Nazli Cila, Klaas Koerten, Maaike Bleeker and Marco Rozendaal, at the HRI’25 in Melbourne.

HRI’25 is the 20th edition of the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction. At HRI, researchers and practitioners from all over the world meet to discuss and explore the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence with our human, social world. In 2025, the conference focussed on a special theme: Robots for a Sustainable World. We all face the pressing global challenge of achieving sustainability in every facet of our lives; we want to ensure that robotics is part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
