Dear HRIers, HCIers, Roboticists and Neuroscientists around the world, We hope this information finds you well!
Are you developing a human-interactive robot, a wearable system, or a neuro-inspired interface and algorithm? Do you have a prototype, an early-stage concept, or a compelling study that reimagines the future of human-machine interaction? Thank you once again for your interest in participating in the *NeuroDesign in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Student Competition* (previously with IEEE RO-MAN 2025). We truly appreciate your continued enthusiasm and support! *π We're thrilled to announce an exciting new update!* The *NeuroDesign in HRI Student EXPO & Competition *has been scheduled again as a "Virtual" event on *November 19, 2025*. This unique showcase welcomes undergraduate, master's, and PhD students to present their innovative work and engage in live, cross-disciplinary dialogue with an international jury of experts from * Human-Robot Interaction * Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) * Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology * Wearable and Soft Robotics * Design, Arts & Human-Centered Engineering * AI, Innovation, and Startups Whether your project is a concept, a working prototype, or an exploratory study, we are excited to see how it challenges conventional boundaries and contributes to the evolution of neuroadaptive, engaging, and socially impactful technologies. π€ *Final Submission Deadline: Monday, November 10, 2025* If you missed the chance to participate last time β no worries! π You're warmly invited to submit your entry by including the following materials to secure your* 5-minute pitch* spot (We're dedicating on selecting *10 finalists* on a *rolling basis* and *there are still few seats available!!* ): * (1) Project Title (required) (2) Abstract (~100 words) (required) (3) Choose One of the following (choose one) (required):* * π₯ A 1β2 minute video overview, or πΌοΈ 5 informative slides, or π A 2-page write-up (IEEE RAS format preferred)* *You can submit your materials directly through our Google Form:*π https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdHr36BmtfTxLbjHSmiY1CYapUiZPXHgsnDIXzXLjf0Kg_-Vw/viewform?usp=sf_link β*or simply reply to the email *(βοΈ [email protected]) with your materials attached (or share access links). *π Awards & Recognition* For full details on all awards and recognitions, please see here: π https://www.neurodesign-hri.ws/2025#competition-guidelines π *Highlights include:* π§ Best Innovation in HRI NeuroDesign (3 awards) β up to β¬500 EUR β€οΈ Most Popular Project Award (2 awards) β including a full APC waiver for Frontiers in Robotics and AI π Lucky Draw Prizes (5 prizes) and certificates for all finalists π― *100% award opportunity β YES, all 10 finalists will receive awards and recognition!* β¨ Prizes are doubled compared to the previous call! *π Key Dates* πΊ* Final Submission Deadline: November 10, 2025* πΊ* Event Date: November 19, 2025* Join us in shaping the future of human-machine symbiosisβwhere your creativity fuels the innovation of tomorrow.
