Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Pioneers Workshop
Posted on Monday, September 21 @ 14:37:56 BST
Topic: Conferences & Workshops
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

5th Human-Robot Interaction Conference (HRI20109)

March 3-5, 2010 - OSAKA, JAPAN

www.hripioneers.org


---------------------------------------------------------------------


WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

The field of human-robot interaction is new but growing rapidly. While there are now several established researchers in the field, many of the current human-robotic interaction practitioners are students or recently graduated. This workshop, to be held in conjunction with the HRI 2010 conference, aims to bring together this group of researchers to present their current research to an audience of their peers in a setting that is less formal and more interactive than the main HRI conference; to talk about the important issues in their field; and to hear about what their colleagues are doing. Participants are encouraged to actively engage and form relationships with others by discussing fundamental topics in HRI and by engaging in hands-on group activities.


WORKSHOP FORMAT:

The format of the workshop will have:
1)participants presenting their work through short talks and posters.
2)talking with experts in the field on the important problems in HRI.
3)meeting in small group sessions to design a HRI experiment.

The workshop will take place in March 2010, in Osaka, Japan in conjunction with the HRI 2010 Conference. Potential participants are encouraged to submit an abstract of their current research, a statement of motivation, and a letter of recommendation by October 2, 2009. See the webpage www.hripioneers.org for more details about the application. Please limit abstracts to 800 words.

We plan to accept approximately 25 students and young researchers to the workshop. Participants will hear short presentations on current research from 10 selected participants, with time allotted for questions and discussion after each of these talks. Participants not allocated to oral presentations will participate in an interactive poster session. A panel of senior HRI researchers from both academia and industry will answer the participants' questions. The discussions will continue over lunch in smaller groups. In the afternoon, a hands-on breakout session will involve small group projects in which participants will investigate how to design a HRI experiment. Afterward, the groups will present a summary to the entire workshop.
