ACM/IEEE International Conference 12-15 March 2008, http://www.hri2008.org hri2008@hri2008.org Living With Robots |

Today's robots require
human-robot interaction (HRI) capabilities designed for the increasing
variety
of environments and contexts in which they operate. Teleoperation
techniques
are important in domains such as search-and-rescue, military
operations, and
space exploration, whereas human-like communications capabilities are
necessary
for robots operating in everyday settings such as home, office,
shopping, and
museum environments. In both cases, HRI is essential in enabling robots
to
transcend the role of mere tools and begin to collaborate with humans
to
accomplish complex tasks. The Third Annual Conference on Human-Robot
Interaction is dedicated to these and other issues in HRI. The theme of
HRI
2008, "Living With Robots", highlights the importance of the
technical
and social issues underlying long-term human-robot interaction towards
companion and assistive robots for long-term use in everyday life and
work
activities. HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual conference
that seeks
to showcase the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
research in
human-robot interaction with roots in psychology, cognitive science,
HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence and robotics, and we invite
broad
participation.

Full and Short Paper Submission Authors are invited to
submit manuscripts in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format for full and short
papers.� Eight camera-ready pages including
figures are allowed for each full paper. Accepted full papers will be
published in the conference proceedings, archived in the ACM Digital
Library, and assigned for either oral or full poster presentation.� Authors are also encouraged to submit their
late-breaking results for short papers.� Two
pages are allowed for each short paper.� Accepted
short papers will be assigned for short poster presentation, but will
not be published in the conference proceedings. Detailed instructions
are available on the conference web site: http://www.hri2008.org. Video Submission We invite videos related to all aspects of
HRI. Besides the importance of the lessons learned and the novelty of
the situation, the entertainment value will be judged. The video itself
must be self-explanatory for the audience. The videos will be published
in the conference proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library. Tutorials and Workshops Proposals are sought from those wishing to
organize a Tutorial or a Workshop on a HRI-related theme. Tutorials and
Workshops will be held on March 12, one day before the main technical
sessions. Exhibitions There will be an exhibition site at the
conference and promoters are encouraged to display state-of-the-art
products and services in all areas of robotics and human-robot
interaction. Suggested Topics
