6th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2011)

March 6-9, 2011, Lausanne, Switzerland
************************************************************************

_REGISTRATION_

To register for HRI2011, go to http://inform.epfl.ch/index.php?form=HRI2011.

HRI 2011 is the 6th Annual Conference for basic and applied human-robot 
interaction research. Scientists from across the world submit their 
bestwork and attend HRI to hear the latest theories, data, and videos 
from the world's best HRI researchers. Each year, the HRI conference 
highlights a particular area. The theme of HRI 2011 is *Real World HRI*. 
This theme is intended to highlight HRI in which basic scientific 
research is further tested in real world settings or applied to 
questions that arise in real world settings. One central aspect of this 
type of research, in contrast to other realms of applied research, is 
that it is theoretically driven and feeds back to our theoretical 
understandings. As such, real world research fortifies our understanding 
of people, robots, and interaction between the two.

HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual international conference 
that seeks to showcase the very best interdisciplinary and 
multidisciplinary research in human-robot interaction with roots in 
social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial 
intelligence, robotics, organizational behavior, anthropology and many 
more, and we invite broad participation.

_FUNDING FOR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS_

We are pleased to announce that there is funding available to partially 
support travel to HRI2011 for Student Volunteers.  Students receiving 
support will be expected to volunteer time to help with on-site 
registration and with general duties, as needed, from 5 March (early 
on-site registration, tutorials and workshops) to 9 March, 2011. Being a 
Student Volunteer is a great way to enter the HRI research community, 
meet other students in your field, and attend one of most important 
conferences in HRI. We are looking to include students with diverse 
backgrounds in HRI and from all parts of the world.  To request funding, 
send your application to the Registration Chair, Selma Sabanovic 
([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>).  For detailed 
instructions on the information that you need to include in your 
application, please go to
