Dear colleagues,

The submission site is still open for the 2024 International Symposium on Technological Advances in Human-Robot Interaction (TAHRI)! If you want to give a second chance to a paper previously reviewed at another venue, we invite you to revise and resubmit it as a TAHRI rapid review paper! Submissions are limited and are reviewed in the order in which they are submitted, so pre-submit your paper by Jan. 12th, 2024 to reserve your spot in the queue! Also, if you want to share promising technological HRI work or useful HRI artifacts (e.g., software, hardware, or other systems), submit a short paper! https://www.tahri.org/authors

OVERVIEW: TAHRI aims to be the premiere symposium for HRI research focused on the advancement of the underlying technology enabling the interaction between a robot and a human. The inaugural event will be held on March 9–10, 2024, in Boulder, Colorado, USA, two days before and co-located with the 2024 HRI conference!

THEME: The theme for the inaugural TAHRI is “Building Bridges Between Builders”, gathering HRI researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, government, and other research groups who are focused on the development of HRI technologies.

TOPICS: TAHRI seeks technological HRI contributions from a broad range of perspectives, including, but not limited to, robots, platforms, hardware, software, sensors, actuators, perception, control, algorithms, models, mechanisms, methods, interfaces, architectures, frameworks, benchmarks, datasets, tools, techniques, or other technologies that, with reasonable effort, can be incorporated into the design, development, or deployment of an HRI system.

PAPERS: TAHRI is an inclusive, community-focused venue that invites novel, high-quality technological HRI papers that will be peer-reviewed in a flexible process, presented live at the symposium, and indexed in archived ACM proceedings.

  • [CLOSED] Standard review papers are for technological HRI work intended to go through a full peer-review process (including internal and external reviewers).

  • Rapid review papers are for technological HRI work that has been previously reviewed but was either not indexed or not published, that has been revised based on previous reviewer feedback, and for which a summary of reviews, rebuttals, and revisions can also be submitted. These papers are part of a new rolling review process (from Nov. 6th, 2023, to Jan. 19th, 2024), with a fast turnaround notification (~3 weeks) and a limited number of submissions! Pre-submissions are required by Jan. 12th, 2024, and take less than five (5) minutes to complete! See the website for important details.

  • Short papers are for recent, ongoing, or otherwise promising technological HRI work with preliminary results or details of accessible artifacts that are relevant to the HRI research community and show potential to promote discussions at TAHRI. These papers will not be indexed in archived proceedings.

SPEAKERS AND PANELISTS: We are in the process of finalizing an amazing lineup of speakers and panelists spanning academia, industry, government, and other research groups. A list of confirmed speakers is below with more to be announced soon!

  • Andres Milioto (Embodied, Inc.)

  • Gabriel Skantze (KTH / Furhat Robotics)

  • Katherine Tsui (Toyota Research Institute)

  • Mark Yim (University of Pennsylvania)

  • Matthias Scheutz (Tufts University)

  • Sean Andrist (Microsoft Research)
