Social RoboticsHRI 2025 convenes in Melbourne around robots for a sustainable world
The 20th ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction conference was the first held in Australia.
The flagship human-robot interaction conference ran from 4 to 6 March 2025 at the Melbourne Convention Centre, marking its 20th edition. Organisers chose the theme of robots for a sustainable world, asking how robotics can help rather than worsen environmental and social challenges. Sponsors included IEEE, ACM, Google, Honda Research Institute, Toyota Research Institute and PAL Robotics. The meeting remains the main annual venue where social robotics research on trust, companionship, care and education is presented and debated.
