Several lab members will be attending this year’s HRI conference. The 9th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) will be held March 3-6, 2014 on the campus of Bielefeld University in Bielefeld, Germany. HRI is a highly-selective annual conference “that showcases outstanding interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in human-robot interaction with roots in social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, robotics, organizational behavior, anthropology and many more.” This year’s HRI theme is “(E)merging Perspectives,” a combination of user and system perspectives for new and unconventional methodologies.

Two lab papers were accepted to HRI this year, Henny Admoni’s Deliberate Delays During Robot-to-Human Handovers Improve Compliance With Gaze Communication (with co-authors Anca Dragan, Siddhartha Srinivasa, and Brian Scassellati) and Dan Leyzberg’s Personalizing Robot Tutors to Individual Learning Differences (with co-authors Sam Spaulding and Brian Scassellati).
Featured lab highlights @ HRI2014:
- Professor Brian Scassellati will speak during Workshop 4, HRI: a bridge between Robotics and Neuroscience on Monday, March 3rd. The aim of this workshop will be to provide a venue for researchers of different disciplines to discuss and present the possible point of contacts, to address the issues and highlight the advantages of bridging the two disciplines of robotics and neuroscience in the context of the study of interaction.
- Brad Hayes will attend the HRI Pioneers Workshop on Monday, March 3rd. The HRI Pioneers Workshop, which is traditionally held in conjunction with the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, is the premiere venue for student research in the field. This highly selective workshop seeks to foster creativity, communication, and collaboration between the world’s top student researchers in the field of Human-Robot Interaction.
- Henny Admoni will present her paper Deliberate Delays During Robot-to-Human Handovers Improve Compliance With Gaze Communication on Tuesday, March 4th.
