The paper proposes leveraging socio-technical relations within the human-robot ecosystem to support adaptable strategies for handling unexpected failures. It explores how characteristics of the ecosystem can influence its ability to respond to unexpected events and identifies technical, social, and organizational arrangements needed to support adaptable failure-handling strategies. The argument is made for robotics and HRI communities to pursue holistic approaches to failure handling by considering socio-technical relations within the human-robot ecosystem.
Unexpected robot failures are inevitable. We propose to leverage socio-technical relations within the human-robot ecosystem to support adaptable strategies for handling unexpected failures. The Theory of Graceful Extensibility is used to understand how characteristics of the ecosystem can influence its ability to respond to unexpected events. By expanding our perspective from Human-Robot Interaction to the Human-Robot Ecosystem, adaptable failure-handling strategies are identified, alongside technical, social and organizational arrangements that are needed to support them. We argue that robotics and HRI communities should pursue more holistic approaches to failure-handling, recognizing the need to embrace the unexpected and consider socio-technical relations within the human robot ecosystem when designing failure-handling strategies.
