IJCAI-ECAI-22 will be a premier international gathering of researchers in AI, and the Robot Exhibition will run alongside the IJCAI-ECAI-22 combined technical program ( <a href="https://ijcai-22.org/" class="">https://ijcai-22.org/</a> ). </font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Robots are a central focus of AI research and development, providing preeminent examples where cognitive skills (e.g., in perception, decision-making, control) are necessary to cope with complex tasks, and both naturalistic and controlled environments. On the one hand, developing intelligent robot systems involves challenging open research questions in AI. On the other hand, established AI methods are gaining increasing interest and applicability in various domains (e.g., industries, services, space) that involve robots alongside humans. </font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">This exhibition offers a prime space for exhibiting both achieved results and new opportunities for the development and use of AI in Robotics in the real world to a large audience of professional AI researchers from academia and industry. The exhibition seeks to involve both academic and industrial groups interested in the combination of AI and Robotics. The exhibition will thus provide an outstanding opportunity for universities, research organizations, and companies to showcase their research on the world stage. </font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;" class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">We invite expressions of interest for demonstrations of robotic systems, software, and tools that exploit AI methods and technologies, and that would be of interest to the broad AI community.
