2nd Edition of Solutions for Socially Intelligent HRI in Real-World Scenarios at HRI'21

The intended audience is made of researchers who work on developing autonomous and algorithmic solutions for HRI and robotics and solving innovative challenges related to that. We also aim at attracting researchers who are interested in connecting with researchers and engineers from the industry and who work on the deployed solutions found in most robotics platforms. In addition, we would like to encourage researchers to submit work they have done but perhaps did not lead to significant results and would like to have some feedback and review and share it with the community.
