Call for Emerging Voices: Early-Career Speakers for the TC Webinar Series

The IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Human-Robot Interaction is launching Emerging Voices, a series of community-driven events highlighting early-career researchers in our field. Our goal is to create an inclusive and dynamic space where they can present their work, share ideas, and engage with the broader human-robot interaction community.

Who can apply. Researchers who have held a PhD for less than five years and work on topics related to human-robot interaction.

Format. Selected speakers give a talk followed by a live discussion with the community. Talks are delivered online as part of the TC webinar series, which begins in November 2026.
