[Mary-Anne Williams]

 IJCAI-13 ROBOT COMPETITION AND EXHIBITION

*Call for Participation*
Competition

IJCAI-13 will host a Robot Competition to help raise awareness of robotics
in the AI community and to identify robotics problems that AI can help to
address. The competition will take place at IJCAI -13 in Beijing and it is
open to all intelligent robots.

There will be four prizes on offer for real-time robot demonstrations in
the following categories: physical skills (e.g. manipulation and motion),
social skills (e.g. human-robot interaction,multi-robot collaboration,
theory of mind), service tasks (e.g. general-purpose service, cleaning the
house, cocktail waiter, security guard) and open (e.g. incredibly awesome
applications). The key criteria are as follows:

   - Innovation - what new value or potential impact does the demonstrated
   capability bring;
   - Significance - quality of new AI/Robotics research questions it
   addresses or exposes;
   - Technical Quality - how well is the demonstration accomplished;
   - Understandability - quality of the demonstration presentation.

Each demonstration is expected to be performed in an arena (like a living
room) and required to be completed in less than 10 minutes with synchronous
presentation/commendatory, followed by a 10 minute Q&A.
