AI-HRI

Artificial Intelligence and Human-Robot Interaction


AAAI Fall Symposium Series



November 12-14, 2015


Introduction

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is a broad community encompassing robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), human-computer interaction (HCI), psychology and social science. In this meeting, we seek to bring together and strengthen the subset of the HRI community that is focused on the AI challenges inherent to HRI.

HRI aims to develop robots that are intelligent, autonomous, and capable of interacting with, modeling, and learning from humans -- goals that are also at the core of the field of AI. While HRI work is seen across a variety of venues (e.g., HRI, RSS, ICRA, IROS, Ro-Man, RoboCup, and more), AI-HRI seeks to serve as the gathering point for the AI-focused community within HRI.

The central purpose of this symposium is to share the most exciting research in this area while cultivating a vibrant, interconnected research community. We will build on the success of last year's symposium by introducing a heavier emphasis on sharing research results and devoting more time to the presentation and discussion of current work in the field. Accordingly, AI-HRI is accepting extended abstracts/short papers (up to 4 pages) and full length papers (up to 8 pages) for inclusion in the symposium.
