6th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2011)
http://hri2011.net
March 6-9, 2011, Lausanne Switzerland
************************************************************************
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.
Important Dates
22 September 2010: Submission of full papers and
tutorial/workshop proposals
12-16 November 2010: Rebuttal Period
15 December 2010: Notification of full paper acceptance
22 December 2010: Submission of late breaking reports and
videos
4 January 2011: Notification of late breaking reports
and videos
6 January 2011: Final camera-ready full papers due
10 January 2011: Final camera-ready late breaking
reports and videos due
Full Papers
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format for
full and short papers. Eight camera ready pages including figures are
allowed for each full paper. Accepted full papers will be published in the
conference proceedings, archived in the ACM Digital Library, and be
presented in an oral session.
Late Breaking Reports
Authors are encouraged to submit their late-breaking results for short
papers. Two pages are allowed for each short paper. Accepted short papers
will be presented as a poster, but will be published in the conference
proceedings.
Video Session
We invite videos related to all aspects of HRI. Besides the importance of
the lessons learned and the novelty of the situation, the entertainment
value will be judged. The video itself must be self-explanatory for the
audience. The videos will be published in the conference proceedings and
archived in the ACM Digital Library.
Tutorials and Workshops
Proposals are sought from those wishing to organize a Tutorial or a Workshop
on a HRI-related theme. Tutorials and Workshops will be held on March 7, one
day before the main technical sessions.
Exhibitions
There will be an exhibition site at the conference and promoters are
encouraged to display state-of-the-art products and services in all areas of
robotics and human-robot interaction.
Topics of interest include:
Socially intelligent robots
Robot companions
