CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th International Workshop on Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality for Human-Robot Interaction (VAM-HRI)
Affiliated with HRI 2024
March 11, 2024
Boulder, CO, USA [and online]
VAM-HRI 2024 Workshop: https://vam-hri.github.io/
HRI 2024 Conference: https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2024

Submission deadline: Due to the early registration deadline for HRI, we have implemented rolling submissions with updated deadlines. Make sure to submit by Jan 17th if you want notification before the HRI 2024 early registration deadline. Final submissions will close February 16, 2024 UTC-12.

The 7th International Workshop on Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality for Human-Robot Interaction (VAM-HRI) will bring together HRI, robotics, and mixed reality researchers to address challenges in mixed reality interactions between humans and robots in a hybrid workshop format, allowing for participation both in-person and remotely. VAM-HRI 2024 will follow on the success of VAM-HRI 2018-23 and advance the cause of this nascent research community.

VAM-HRI 2024 welcomes contributions on topics including but NOT limited to:

• AR-based intent communication
• AR-based behavior explanation
• Social/Socially Assistive applications of VAM-HRI
• AR/VR for robot testing and diagnostics
• AR/VR for robot learning
• VR for HRI human-subject experimentation
• Mixed-reality language grounding
• AR-augmented natural language generation
• AR-enabled robot control
• AR/VR for safety around robots
• Architectures for AR/VR-based HRI
• Computational modeling within AR/VR-based HRI
• AR/VR for expanding social interactions
• VAM-HRI research in the time of COVID-19
• Social and ethical implications of VAM for HRI

VAM-HRI accepts submissions of length from 2-8 pages presenting current or proposed work. Papers posted online without prior peer review (e.g., already posted on ArXiv as a preprint but not already accepted into another venue) can be submitted. References do not count towards total page count. A submission link will be provided on the workshop website: https://vam-hri.github.io/

All accepted papers will be accompanied by talks and/or poster presentations and will be archived on the workshop website.
