HRI Topic Selection & Track Router
Guides academic researchers in selecting target venues and appropriate tracks for human-robot interaction papers using proven gating tests.
The HRI Topic Selection skill assists researchers, roboticists, and academic writers in determining whether a research project fits the flagship ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) conference or sibling venues like CHI, ICRA, IROS, RO-MAN, CoRL, HAI, or THRI. By applying the robot-embodiment test, the human-in-the-loop test, and the re-label test, this skill evaluates whether your research contribution is truly load-bearing in both robotics and human interaction. It also routes your submission into one of HRI's five distinct full-paper tracks—User Studies, Technical, Design, Theory and Methods, or Systems—ensuring your paper is reviewed by the right subcommittee and judged against the proper evidentiary standards.
