Proceedings of the AI-HRI Symposium at AAAI-FSS 2022
It serves as a venue for researchers and practitioners in AI and human-robot interaction to collaborate and set future directions, but it is incremental as it builds on past symposia.
This paper describes the AI-HRI Symposium at AAAI-FSS 2022, focusing on exploring the future of AI-HRI with a Blue Sky Ideas track to foster forward-thinking discussions.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Symposium has been a successful venue of discussion and collaboration on AI theory and methods aimed at HRI since 2014. This year, after a review of the achievements of the AI-HRI community over the last decade in 2021, we are focusing on a visionary theme: exploring the future of AI-HRI. Accordingly, we added a Blue Sky Ideas track to foster a forward-thinking discussion on future research at the intersection of AI and HRI. As always, we appreciate all contributions related to any topic on AI/HRI and welcome new researchers who wish to take part in this growing community. With the success of past symposia, AI-HRI impacts a variety of communities and problems, and has pioneered the discussions in recent trends and interests. This year's AI-HRI Fall Symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from around the globe, representing a number of university, government, and industry laboratories. In doing so, we hope to accelerate research in the field, support technology transition and user adoption, and determine future directions for our group and our research.
