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).
