At the #HRI2026 conference, I presented our thoughts on the current #HumanoidHype: yes, that's a lot of undeniably cool machines, doing backflips and complicated dances, but well... it feels that the US and Chinese companies leading the show haven't fully realized/understood what it means to create robots to work alongside humans.

📜 In short, ToM is an outdated and harmful concept, not properly backed up, that should be abandonned entirely. This does not mean that all the research done in Social Robotics is to be abandonned or redone, but that we need to rethink how we justify our work and what we actually do.

🥳 I am extremely proud to bring you a wonderful paper in collaboration with Cansu Elmadağlı, which we will present at @hri, track alt.HRI!
This paper looks at the concept of Theory of Mind (ToM), a core concept in Social Robotics. However, this concept is very strongly criticized in social sciences, though these critics had not crossed the border to robotics yet. We are doing just that with this paper. -

A fundamental challenge in human-robot interaction is that capabilities and limitations are often opaque to users.
In our upcoming #HRI2026 paper, X-OOHRI, led by the brilliant @laurenwang, we use AR to make robot capabilities and limits visible during object-oriented interactions 🤖
