CALL for PAPERS
4th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots
@ 2009 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
Paris (France), December 7, 2009
=========================
Year after year humanoid robots are more and more robust and
autonomous. One of the fields with the most impressive advances is
Humanoid Soccer Robotics. The ultimate goal of Humanoid Soccer
Robotics is to develop a team of "humanoid soccer players" i.e.
robots with human-like motion, intelligence, communication, and skills
in playing soccer. This initiative is definitely posing a unique set
of challenges to the researchers in robotics, AI and many other fields.
This workshop is open to contribution of all researchers interested in
the subject. We warmly welcome contributions from the RoboCup and FIRA
communities to foster the exchange of ideas and to promote robotic
soccer in the IEEE community. This is the forth of a successful series
of workshops held every year since 2006 at IEEE-RAS International
Conference on Humanoid Robots. Previous workshops gave rise to special
issues of international journals (IJHR, RAS) see
http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/
Topics of interest for the workshop are:
Design and control of humanoid soccer robots
Biped locomotion
Complex motion generation for humanoids
Motion planning for humanoid soccer
3D-Simulation for Humanoids
Perception for Humanoids
SLAM for Humanoids
Multi-humanoid systems
Humanoid team coordination
Moving from a quadruped robot to a biped robot in the RoboCup Standard
Platform League
All the submissions will undergo a peer review process. All papers
must be submitted electronically by sending it to the three Program
Chairs, in PDF format by Octopber 10, 2009. The maximum number of
pages is limited to eight, including figures. A CD-ROM with the
accepted paper will be distributed at the Conference. After the
workshop, the best papers will be selected for a robotics journal
special issue as in the previous years.
Interested authors should send by e-mail a paper title, abstract and
keywords to the Program Chairs, as soon as possible, and then they
must submit the full paper according to the following deadlines.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Notification of Paper Title, Abstract and Keywords by authors due: ASAP
Full paper submission due: October 10, 2009
Notification of acceptance by Workshop Co-Chairs: October 30, 2009
Final paper due: November 21st, 2009
