<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">* <b>Abstract</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b>----------------<br></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The development of humanoid
robots able to play soccer is a fundamental challenge problem for robotics
and AI. Since the start of the humanoid league in 2002, there have been lots of
improvements in humanoid soccer robots hardware and software. This is partially
due to the introduction of standard platforms (Nao, DARwIn-OP, NimbRo-OP) and
competitions for complex simulated robots (3D Simulation).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The objective of the school is to
give deep insights into the current state of the art for soccer playing
humanoid robots. Amirkabir Robotic Institute and Mechanical Engineering Department
of Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) are proud to host
the 3rd International Spring School for Humanoid Robots 2014, a unique
opportunity for everyone to learn the fundamentals and get involved in humanoid
robots projects.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The spring school will highlight
the most recent advances in humanoid robotics research. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i>1- Theory</i>: Many successful
approaches in the areas of active balancing, compliant control, complex motion
planning, biologically inspired approaches, team play, and human robot
interaction. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i>2- Practical</i> <i>exercises</i>:
A soccer field and real humanoid soccer robots (Darwin-OP, Nao) will be
provided for hands-on experience. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">There will be sessions
covering the basic theory and lab activities covering the practice of humanoid
robotics. Lectures will be presented by well-known researchers from North America,
Europe, and Asia. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"></p>
