****************************************************************
The field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is new but growing rapidly. While there are now several established researchers in the field, many of the current human-robotic interaction practitioners are students or recently graduated. This workshop, to be held in conjunction with the HRI 2007 conference, aims to bring together this group of researchers to discuss their work, talk about the important upcoming issues in the field, and hear about what their colleagues are doing.
The workshop is the second annual workshop for junior researchers in HRI held in conjunction with the HRI conference. Those who have not attended a previous session are highly encouraged to submit to this workshop. Previous attendance will be considered for acceptance as well.
The format of the workshop will have participants presenting their work in short talks, hearing from an expert in the field on the important problems in HRI, and meeting in small group sessions to discuss common research themes.
The workshop will take place on Thursday, March 8, 2007, in Washington, DC in conjunction with the HRI 2007 Conference to be held in DC March 9-11.
Potential participants are encouraged to submit an abstract of their current research by September 30, 2006 to
_CLOAKING
Please limit abstracts to two pages.
We plan to accept approximately 30 students and young researchers to the workshop. Twelve will be asked to give a brief (10 minute) talk to the workshop about their work. The remainder will be expected to talk about their work during breakout sessions and meals.
