hri-writing-style

Use when drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.

# HRI Writing Style

HRI reviewers come from robotics, HCI, psychology, and design at once. A sentence that a roboticist
finds obvious may be opaque to a psychologist and vice versa, so HRI prose must be **legible across
disciplines** while making a **rigorous** contribution its home track can judge. You have **8 pages**
(including figures, excluding references) in the ACM `acmart` template — a tight budget that rewards
a clear arc and punishes throat-clearing. This skill builds the paper for that audience and budget.

## The HRI first-page arc

Lead with the interaction, not the machinery:

1. **The interaction problem** — a question about what happens *between a person and a robot*, in
   one or two sentences, in the first breath.
