[iva] [Meetings][CfP] 20th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2025) - 2nd Call for LBRs, Demos/Videos, and the Student Design Challenge

[Graaf, M.M.A. de (Maartje)]

The 20th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2025) invites high-quality submissions for Late-Breaking Reports, Demos/Videos, and the Student Design Challenge. The conference theme for HRI 2025 is "Robots for a Sustainable World."
Below are the key details and deadlines for each category. Full details for each submission type can be found on the conference website https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2025/

===========================================================
Late-Breaking Reports (LBR)
The Late-Breaking Reports (LBR) venue at HRI 2025 provides authors with the opportunity to present early-stage results and new ideas on exciting, cutting-edge, and experimental research. This track is an excellent opportunity for researchers new to the field to participate in the conference. All LBR submissions will undergo double-blind peer review, and accepted LBRs will be published in the conference proceedings, available in both the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore.
*       Submission Deadline: December 6th, 2024  (23:59 AoE)
*       Review Deadline: December 20th, 2024
*       Notification of Acceptance: January 8, 2025
*       Submission Requirements:
o       A 2-4 page article (excluding references)
o       Optionally, a max 2-minute video figure to accompany the submission
*       Presentation: Accepted LBRs will be presented as posters during the main conference. At least one author must attend the conference in person.

Late-Breaking Report Chairs:
Aurélie Clodic (LAAS CNRS), Tesca Fitzgerald (Yale), Emmanuel Senft (Idiap Research Institute), Zhi Tan (Northeastern University)

===========================================================
Demos and Videos
The Demos and Videos track offers an interactive way to present cutting-edge systems and videos that make interaction with robots more intuitive, seamless, and engaging. Submissions should align with the conference theme, "Robots for a Sustainable World," and demonstrate the societal benefits and real-world applications of the presented research.
*       Submission Deadline: December 9, 2024 (23:59 AoE)
*       Notification of Acceptance: January 12, 2025
*       Camera-Ready Deadline: January 17, 2025
*       Submission Requirements:
o       A video (up to 3 minutes long, maximum 70MB)
o       A 1-3 page summary document describing the demo/video, its novelty, and its potential impact
*       Presentation: Accepted demos/videos will be presented at the conference, and submissions will be published in the IEEE Xplore companion proceedings.

Need to borrow a Pepper Robot to Run your Demo?
Aldebaran has generously provided 3 Pepper robots for HRI 2025, aiming to facilitate researchers in presenting their work without the hassle of traveling with their own platform. The process is straightforward-just like any other demo submission. Simply submit your demo proposal and indicate if you would require a Pepper robot for your demo at the conference. If your proposal is accepted, you will be assigned a "robot usage slot" to set up your demo. This initiative supports our goal of a more sustainable world, creating new opportunities for researchers who might otherwise not have the chance to share their work with the community.

Demos and Video Chairs:
Raquel Ros (PAL Robotics, Spain), Angelica Lim (Simon Fraser University, Canada)

===========================================================
Student Design Challenge (SDC)
The Student Design Challenge (SDC) invites student teams from various disciplines to design and develop a human-robot interaction that addresses one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This challenge provides a hands-on introduction to the interdisciplinary world of HRI through team-based projects.
*       Initial Submission Deadline: December 2, 2024
*       Acceptance Notification: January 6, 2025
*       Camera-Ready Deadline: January 21, 2025
*       Submission Requirements:
o       A 1-4 page paper (including references)
o       A draft video presentation (up to 3 minutes)
*       Presentation: Accepted projects will be showcased at the main conference. Participants are encouraged to bring physical prototypes to the event.
