Call for Posters & Important Dates

Criteria for Submission Selection

Between 10 to 15 submissions will be accepted to be presented in a poster session that is planned in the workshop program. Papers will be selected based on their scientific and technical originality, relevance to the workshop topics, research contributions, technical clarity, quality and clarity of the presentation, and potential impact in the field.

Submissions must be in PDF following the IEEE IROS conference style in two-columns and should be an extended abstract (min 2 pages, max 4 pages. Not including references). All accepted papers will be published on the workshop website (possible both the abstract and the poster presented in the workshop session), and will NOT appear in the official IEEE conference proceedings. Accepted papers require that at least one of the authors register for the workshop. Submissions will be reviewed in single-blind review by at least two workshop organizers.

The solicited papers for the poster session should fit within, but are not limited to, the topics of AI for HRI included in the next section ‘Topics of interest.’ Papers may present unpublished, under-review, or recently published studies that will be on the topics of the workshop and cultivate interesting discussion during the workshop.

Topics of interest

Our general topic for the workshop is Artificial Intelligence for Social Robots Interacting with Humans in the Real World, and the workshop sub-topics include, but are not limited to:

• Human-robot joint action planning and execution
• Knowledge representation and reasoning for HRI
• Learning of social interaction in HRI tasks
• Robots interacting with multiple humans and multiple robot HRI
• Applications of mobile service robots in social environments with human interaction
• Evaluation of the quality of human-robot interaction
• Human-robot collaboration models to achieve better results more quickly
• Design of robots with humanlike behavior and cognition for HRI
• Design more predictable or humanlike robot behaviors for HRI
• Facilitate mutual recognition of behaviors between robots and humans
• Short-and long-term HRI

How to submit your extended abstract:

We welcome poster submissions as brief papers in the scope of this workshop. Please consider the following points for your submission:

Submit the papers to: ely.repiso-polo@laas.fr and doering@i.kyoto-u.ac.jp.

Include "Call for extended abstract of workshop intellect4hri" in the email subject field.

We will send a confirmation email to all the papers we receive. If you do not receive this message after 4 days, try to contact us.

We are trying to see if we can set up an official submission through EasyChair. But now is "under construction".

IMPORTANT: If you plan to go in person take into account the registration and visa information on the conference website (https://iros2022.org/registrationvisa/visa/) because now is only possible to travel to Japan for work and you will need a visa.

Once your paper is accepted:

For the accepted papers, authors will be requested to prepare a three-minute presentation that will be posted on YouTube and these videos will be watched at the zoom of the workshop during the poster session. Finally, due to some new time constrains that reduce the workshop program in 2h, the two sessions, online and face-to-face, will be held in parallel. Therefore, all presentations will be short and light 3-minute presentations, with additional time for questions. Please, prepare your power points with the slides of the presentation and maybe some additional ones for questions. Also, these presentations do not differ so much from the ones that we have planned that were an interactive poster session with a pptx on a screen.

Notice: We are preparing a journal special issue related to the workshop. We will invite all the accepted submissions to submit a regular paper of their work to the Special Issue.
