  • 1.  [Conferences] HRI2024 will be at Boulder, CO

    Dear HART TG members, 
    The annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI) is one of the top-tier conferences (about 22% acceptance rate) closely related to our Human-AI-Robot Teaming Technical Group. HRI conferences usually take turns to host in Asia, Europe, and America. The HRI2024 conference will be held from March 11-14, 2024, in Boulder, Colorado, USA. If you have never been to HRI, I encourage you to check it out. You will see people from various disciplines doing HRI research. Human Factors and Ergonomics is critical and should have a better representation in the HRI society. 

    Here is the conference website: https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2024/

    "There are many ways to participate in HRI 2024, including full papers, late breaking reports, demos, videos, workshops and our new robot challenge. There are many opportunities particularly for students and those new to the field to be involved, including via volunteering and participating in mentoring workshops."

    Best regards, 
    Lixiao

    Hello Lixiao,

    Thank you for sharing this with our community! Do you (or anyone else!) have a sense about the range of robots that this community would agree is in scope for submissions? I'm assuming that that embodied robots are clearly in scope, but what about virtualized robots (e.g., chatbots, other bots that roam the internet) and AI-infused decision support? Anything else?

     

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Mike, 
    "The HRI 2024 conference has five themes: Theory and Methods, Design, Technical, Systems, and User Studies. Each of these themes is aligned with a specific type of knowledge contribution. Authors are strongly encouraged to read through the track descriptions, as the assignment of topics to tracks, and the philosophy of how work will be evaluated within each track (especially the technical track) has changed substantially from prior years." Here is a detailed description of the five themes.

    https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2024/fullpaper/

    In the user Studies theme, there is one line saying, "    These studies may use autonomous robots, wizard of oz, or may not involve a physical robot at all in some cases." So I think virtual robots are acceptable.

     User Studies
    The primary knowledge contribution of papers submitted to the studies track is expected to be new knowledge about human-robot interactions, based on a study conducted with people. These studies may take a variety of forms, including need finding studies and other ethnographic and qualitative studies; exploratory, theory-building, or replicative laboratory or field studies; industry case studies, and so forth. These studies may use autonomous robots, wizard of oz, or may not involve a physical robot at all in some cases. What is most important is the size of the knowledge contribution produced through this study for the human-robot interaction community. Because the primary knowledge contribution in this track is expected to be knowledge from a study with humans:

      1. If a submitted paper contains evaluation of an implemented system, it should be clear why the insights from the study with humans are the primary knowledge contribution rather than the system itself, and thus why the paper belongs in the Studies rather than Technical or Systems track.
      2. If the paper's main contribution is the creation of a new survey measure or other scientific tool, the paper likely belongs in the Theory and Methods track.
      3. If the paper's main contribution is a design process, or the description of a series of design steps used to design a robotic system, then the paper likely belongs in the Design track. For example, if an author performs a series of co-design workshops, the resulting paper would belong in the Studies track if the contribution of the paper focused on the scientific insights gleaned from the analysis of those workshops, but would belong in the Design track if the contribution of the paper focused on the quality of the design process itself.
      4. If the paper's main contribution is the dataset rather than the experimental results themselves, the paper likely belongs in the Short Contributions track.

    Hope this helps. 

    Best regards, 
    Lixiao
