HRI 2025: 20th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction
March 3-6, 2025
Melbourne, Australia
https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2025/

Submission deadline for abstracts: September 24, 2024

We are excited to announce the 20th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI). HRI is the annual conference for basic and applied HRI research, where researchers from across the world present their best work to exchange ideas about theory, technology, data, and science furthering the state-of-the-art in the field.

There are many ways to participate in HRI 2025, including full papers archived in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore Digital Library, as well as late breaking reports, short contributions, alt.HRI, and more. There will be multiple opportunities particularly for students and those new to the field to get involved, including volunteering.

The conference theme for HRI 2025 is “Robots for a Sustainable World”. We welcome contributions having a focus on sustainability in a broad sense but also encourage all authors to reflect on how their own work relates to these issues.

We aim to make the conference in-person only, to bring the best possible experience to the attendees who will join us in Melbourne. Additional details will be posted on the web page as the conference date nears.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

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 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.

Please be aware that this year full paper authors will be required to submit an abstract one week before the paper submission deadline.

The HRI 2025 conference full papers have five tracks: Theory and Methods, Design, Technical, Systems, and User Studies. To facilitate quality interdisciplinary reviewing, and to inform reviewer selection, authors will be required to select one main track and one optional second track for their full paper submissions.

Authors are encouraged to consult the conference website for full information regarding the tracks and submission guidelines: https://humanrobotinteraction.org/2025/full-papers/
