Dear HART TG Members,

I hope this letter finds you all in good health and high spirits. On behalf of the Human-AI-Robot Teaming Technical Group (HART TG), we are delighted to invite you to our upcoming annual business meeting and Bring Your Own Robot (BYOR) social event, to be held at the HFES annual conference in DC.

Event Details:

  • 4 pm – 5 pm HART TG Annual Business Meeting

As we gather for this special occasion, our primary focus is to facilitate a unique and informal TG-open event, fostering collaboration among our esteemed TG members. The event aims to provide a platform where you can showcase your interesting HART projects, share knowledge, and engage in hands-on interactions with various HART testbeds.

The essence of this gathering is to create an inclusive space for all members to participate, regardless of experience level or the scale of their projects. Whether you are a seasoned HART researcher with cutting-edge innovations or someone just starting to explore the fascinating world of HART research, we welcome you to join us and be part of this wonderful experience. No papers or reviews are needed for participation. Instead, we encourage you to bring your AI/robot simulations or demos, and present them in an informal setting where curiosity and enthusiasm for HART research take center stage.

We believe that the power of the HART TG lies in its diverse and talented members. Your contributions and participation are what make our community flourish, and we want this event to be a celebration of your hard work and ingenuity.

This is an excellent opportunity to network with fellow TG members, exchange ideas, and create lasting connections with professionals and enthusiasts who share your passion for human factors, AI, and robotics.

We are genuinely excited about this event and look forward to your participation in making it a resounding success. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact us at Lixiao.huang@asu.edu or joseph.lyons.6@us.af.mil.

Thank you for your continuous support, and we hope to see you at the HART TG Annual Business Meeting & BYOR Social Event!
