HRI 201 (Osaka, Japan)
Sunday, August 9th, 2009 by Conference Editor| March 2, 2010 | to | March 5, 2010 |
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 5th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction seeks to take up the 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.
The topics for this conference include:
- Socially intelligent robots
- Personal and entertainment robots
- Long-term interaction
- Learning and adaptation with humans
- Non-verbal and Multi-modal interaction
- User studies of HRI
- Ethical issues and social responsibility
- Organizational/societal impact
