N2 - We believe that we can design robot clothes to help robots become better robots-help them to be useful in a wider array of contexts, or to better adapt or function in the contexts they are already in. We propose that robot clothing should avoid mere mimicry of human apparel, and instead be motivated by what robots need. While we have seen robots dressed in clothes in the last few decades, we believe that robot clothes can be designed with thoughtful intention and should be studied as its own field. In this workshop, we explore this new area within human robot interaction by bringing together HRI researchers, designers, fashion and costume designers, and artists. We will focus on potential functions of robot clothes, discuss potential trends, and design clothes for robots together in an interactive prototyping session. Through this workshop, we hope to build a community of people who will push forward the field of robot clothing design.
