Grand Technical and Social Challenges
in HRI
5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, March 2-5 2010, Osaka
Robots are becoming part of people's everyday social lives - and will
increasingly become so. In future years, robots may become caretaking
assistants for the elderly, or academic tutors for our children, or medical
assistants, day care assistants, or psychological counsellors. Robots may
become our co-workers in factories and offices, or maids in our homes. They
may become our friends. As we move to create our future with robots, hard
problems in human-robot interaction (HRI) exist, both technically and
socially. The Fifth Annual Conference on HRI seeks to take up grand
technical and social challenges in the field - and speak to their
integration. HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual conference that
seeks to showcase the very best research in human-robot interaction with
roots in robotics, psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors,
artificial intelligence, organizational behavior, anthropology, and many
other fields. We invite broad participation.
