IROBOT'2009 Thematic Track on Intelligent Robotics

http://www.fe.up.pt/~irobot

a track of EPIA'2009 - Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence

http://epia2009.appia.pt/

 

October 12-15, 2009

Aveiro, Portugal

---------------------------

 

IROBOT'2009 is a thematic track dedicated to Intelligent Robotics,

integrated in the 2009 Portuguese Conference on Artificial Intelligence.

Its main purpose is to bring together researchers, engineers and other

professionals interested in the application of AI techniques in real and

simulated robotics, to discuss current work and future directions.

 

The IRobot'2009 track will especially target the theme “Cognitive versus

Reactive approaches – hybridization is the solution?”. A related aspect

will be explored, consisting on analyzing these models from the point of

view of stringent applications of mobile robots, in particular in

robotic competitions. “Are the theoretical models of any use when real

time competition is the goal?” These topics will be the subject of panel

discussions led by well known researchers with vast experience in

robotics and their different applications, in particular, mobile robot

competitions. Nevertheless, other aspects will be addressed as well and

a non exhaustive list of topics that may be addressed is suggested next.
