Call for Participation

----------------------------------

First International Symposium on Practical Cognitive Agents and Robots

27 -- 28 November 2006

University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia

 

Robot Soccer Exhibition

26 November 2006

University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia

 

"Celebrating 50 Years of Artificial Intelligence..."

 

Mobile autonomous robots can perform complex tasks in unstructured and 
dynamic environments. Advances in autonomous mobile robotics over the 
last decade have been extraordinary, and the potential for future 
scientific breakthroughs and applications is breathtaking. However, a 
number of bottlenecks to future advancement have been identified such as 
building robots that know what they are doing, and that can adapt to 
changing conditions and requirements.

 

This symposium seeks to move the research frontier by focusing on the 
scientific bottlenecks, namely equipping robots with more knowledge 
about internal representations and the external world, as well as 
developing an awareness of oneself and others.

 

The symposium includes invited speakers Masahiro Fujita (Sony 
Corporation) and Patrick Doherty (Linköping University), and  accepted 
papers from leading research groups around the world. Prior to the 
symposium there will be public robot soccer exhibition matches between 
WrightEagle (USTC, China), UTS Unleashed! (UTS, Australia) and UWArriors 
(UWA, Australia).

If you are planning to attend, please be aware that a visa is required 
for entry to Australia. In many countries, your travel agent will make 
the appropriate application (free of charge) when you buy your ticket, 
however we urge you to make suitable arrangements with your travel agent 
or nearest Australian embassy as soon as possible.

 

Looking forward to seeing you in Perth!
