The Human – Large Language Model Interaction workshop aims at bringing together researchers and industry experts across all disciplines in the fields of Human-Robot Interaction and Artificial Intelligence for an interactive and interdisciplinary discussion around the enormous opportunities and challenges that emerge from integrating Large Language Models (including multimodal Vision-and-Language models) in the interactive, conversational and reasoning abilities of robots.   

The workshop aims to provide an important venue to encourage debate around issues concerning the deployment of Large Language Model / Large Multimodal Model empowered solutions for human-robot interaction. This will be an opportunity to share and discuss ideas, methods, worries, strategies, insights, and findings around the application of LLMs in interaction scenarios.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 

Participants are invited to submit 2-pages extended abstracts on research related to the topics described above using EasyChair. We explicitly encourage the submission of position papers to discuss with the community or papers describing work in progress, novel ideas or new approaches related to the use of LLMs in HRI.   

All manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format and will be peer-reviewed based on relevance to the workshop. Authors are asked to adhere to the submission guidelines outlined by HRI2024. Submissions should be made using the ACM template; Overleaf provides an appropriate template that may be used. 

The authors of the accepted papers will present their work in the format of lightning talks or posters during the workshop. The accepted papers will be published on the workshop website.
