***********************************************************************

AI-HRI (The AAAI Fall Symposium on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)) seeks to bring together the subset of the HRI community focused on the application of AI solutions to HRI problems. Building on the success of the two previous years’ symposia, the central purpose of this year’s symposium is to share exciting new and ongoing research, foster discussion about necessary areas for future work, and cultivate a vibrant, interconnected research community. AI-HRI encourages social scientists to submit:

*** PAPER CATEGORIES ***

FULL PAPERS: 5-7 page papers highlighting HRI research focusing on the use of autonomous AI systems.
SHORT PAPERS: 3-4 page papers describing challenges that social scientists encounter in designing, performing, or evaluating studies in HRI which could be ameliorated by new or improved tools, software packages, or artificial intelligence systems.
TOOL PAPERS: 1-2 page abstracts describing novel datasets of interest to the AI-HRI community. Presented datasets should be made available at the symposium.


*** TRAVEL FUNDS FOR STUDENTS ***
A limited amount of travel funding is available to students authors, and will be allocated based on need and merit. European students should note that additional funds have been provided by AIJ specifically for their support. Interested students should complete the application found at http://ai-hri.github.io.
