Studies of Human-Robot Interaction Theme Information
To represent a broad set of perspectives in human-robot interaction research, including technical, design, methodological, behavioral, and theoretical, the 10th annual ACM/IEEE HRI Conference invites contributions on studies of human-robot interaction. These contributions include naturalistic and experimental studies of how humans and robots interact in real-world settings or might interact in experimental scenarios to establish new understanding, principles, and design recommendations for human-robot interaction.
Full paper submissions under this theme must provide a detailed account of the research method, robot system and behaviors, settings and manipulations (if any), and result obtained from the study. These submissions must provide rich knowledge about humans and demonstrate the rigor with which such knowledge was constructed, such as details on coding procedure, reliability analysis, etc. Examples of contributions to studies of human-robot interaction in past conferences and the Journal of HRI are included below.
Blind submissions are due on 3 October 2014. Accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE xPlore. Full details of the submission types is provided on Author Page. Submission authors are also encouraged read the Open Letter to the HRI Community that describes the changes in the peer-review process for HRI 2015.
