Call for Participation
IEEE-RAS HUMANOIDS 2015 Workshop
Reusable and Open-Source Modules for Humanoid Robots
November 3rd, 2015, 9:15AM to 1PM, Seoul, Korea
========================================================
FORMAT
The workshop features nine contributions on highly capable hardware
and software modules for humanoid robots in a combination of
oral presentations with in-depth interactive sessions.
MOTIVATION AND OBJECTIVE
Humanoids are capable of incredibly sophisticated motion, perception, and
interaction with their environments. They are also well-suited for executing
complex tasks in constrained, human-engineered environments with applications
as robotic co-workers, service robots, and avatars for human response forces
for disaster recovery. The recent DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) was a dramatic
demonstration of the state-of-the-art of humanoids in the last category.
However, the complexity of humanoid robots still challenges our best software
for dynamic motion planning, control, perception, and mission operation. Our
ability to deploy these systems in real-world scenarios will depend strongly on
our ability to successively build on available and proven hardware and software
modules. This workshop is intended to promote this topic by featuring talks and
live demonstrations about several recent projects and approaches related to
both software (control, planning, estimation, interfaces) and hardware
(sensors, actuators, and robot designs).
