Thank you!
ACM/IEEE HRI2022 was successfully done with a record-breaking number of participants. Thank you very much for your participation and looking foward to see you at HRI2023 in Stockholm, Sweden!
Welcome
We are excited to welcome you to the 17th Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI 2022)! This is the third time the HRI research community cannot meet in person because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The HRI Conference is the premium venue for publishing and presenting top-quality HRI research and the virtual format might even allow us to attract and include more people who would not have the opportunity to travel around the world.
The HRI2022 conference runs on a virtual conference platform, Hopin. If you have made registration and got an invitation email to Hopin. Please sign in from here. If you have not made registration yet, please go to the registration page first.
The HRI conference is a single-track conference, so Keynote, Full paper, Short contribution, Alt.HRI, Video, Student Design Competition, and Industrial session will be presented at the Main Stage on Hopin. Late-Breaking Reports (LBR), Pioneers’ poster presentations, and Alt.HRI interactive sessions are interactive presentations that will be happening in a Booth at the Expo. Social activities will be happening at various venues.
You can find the main conference program and schedule from here. The conference proceedings are available on ACM Digital Library.
Please come to the Help & Accessibility Desk if you need any assistance (Help & Accessibility Desk is open during the main conference from March 8).

Conference format: full online
The HRI2022 organizing committee (OC) discussed the conference format and did polling for a decision on HRI2022’s format. As a result, we have decided that HRI2022 will be fully online, with no local conference happening in Sapporo, Japan.
Major reasons for the decision:
- Japanese domestic conferences and symposiums in March are going to be online.
- Immigration restrictions in Japan are extremely strict. Foreign nationals are denied entry to Japan right now. This situation will be getting better. However, some restrictions will remain (such as a 3-7 days quarantine period).
- These restrictions make it hard to book travel or plan in advance.
It is sad for all of us, but the OC now aims to put all their energy into making the HRI2022 conference a great virtual experience for everyone. We still have sufficient time for preparing the virtual conference and related social events for next March. We discussed many ideas of having local “meet-ups” for having a distributed HRI conference experience, and also already discussed concerns and legal limitations for local events. Please let us know any ideas from your side as well, including how we can create a memorable HRI2022 experience, even though we again cannot meet in person.
Best wishes,
HRI2022 General co-chairs
Daisuke Sakamoto and Astrid Weiss
