The 15th Annual HRI conference theme is "Real World Human-Robot Interaction". The conference seeks contributions from a broad set of perspectives, including technical, design, behavioural, theoretical, methodological, and metrological, that advance fundamental and applied knowledge and methods in human-robot interaction. Full papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">**Full Papers: Due 1 October 2019**</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Full papers are up to eight camera-ready pages, including figures, but excluding references. Accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings and presented in an oral session. The HRI conference is highly selective with a rigorous, two-stage review model that includes an in-person expert program committee meeting where papers are extensively discussed. As such, all submissions are expected to be mature, polished, and detailed accounts of cutting-edge research described and presented in camera-ready style. In cases of equally qualified papers, positive consideration will be given to submissions that address this year's theme, "Real-World Human Robot Interaction". </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Authors are encouraged to consult the guide regarding submissions to HRI provided at: <a href="http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2020/guide-to-submission-types/" class="">http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2020/guide-to-submission-types/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">To facilitate quality interdisciplinary reviewing, and to inform reviewer selection, authors will be required to select one main theme and one optional second theme for their full paper submissions.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">The HRI 2020 conference has five themes: User Studies, Technical Advances, Design, Theory and Methods, and Reproducibility (New for 2020). Papers may have overlap between themes, but authors are encouraged to consider the main contribution of the work using this brief rule of thumb:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">• Human Robot Interaction User Studies: The primary contribution is human-focused, e.g., how humans perceive, interact with, or otherwise engage with robots.
</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">• Technical Advances in Human Robot Interaction: The primary contribution is robot-focused, e.g., systems, algorithms, or computational methods supporting HRI.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">• Human-Robot Interaction Design: The primary contribution is design-focused, e.g., new morphologies, behavior paradigms, and interaction capabilities for robots. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">• Theory and Methods in Human-Robot Interaction: The primary contribution is methodology-focused, e.g., fundamental HRI principles beyond individual interfaces or projects, new theoretical concepts in HRI, etc.
</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">• Reproducibility of Human-Robot Interaction: The primary contribution is science-focused, e.g., Reproduces, Replicates, or Re-creates prior HRI work (or fails to), provides new HRI artifacts (e.g., datasets, software), etc.
