Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 2024 International Symposium on Technological Advances in Human-Robot Interaction (TAHRI)! The submission site is now open:  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.

• 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! 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.

Important Dates:

• Nov. 6, 2023: Paper submission site opens

• ~3 weeks after submission: Rapid review paper notification

• Dec. 1, 2023: Standard review paper deadline

• Jan. 19, 2024: Standard review paper notification / Rapid review paper deadline / Short paper deadline

• Feb. 2, 2024: Revise-and-resubmit deadline

• Feb. 9, 2024: Revise-and-resubmit notification / Short paper notification
