[Meetings] [CFP] NeuroDesign in HRI Student EXPO & Competition (Submission Deadline: November 10, 2025)

[NeuroDesign in HRI]

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!

🌟 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.
