IROBOT 2009
4th
International Workshop on Intelligent Robotics
(http://www.fe.up.pt/~irobot)
To be held at EPIA 2009 – 12-15
October 2009, Aveiro, Portugal
--
Thematic Track Description
Robotics,
from the point of view of AI, has been an important application field, from
which AI has also gained. Namely the dynamic and unforeseen nature of the
environment, especially for mobile robots, has fostered research in these
aspects of AI. A continued point of discussion has been the cognitive
versus reactive approaches which has contributed to the generation of interesting
hybrid models, by combining the two approaches. This will constitute the
focal theme of the IROBOT'2009 thematic track. IROBOT'2009 poses itself as
a follow-up on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd International Workshops on Intelligent
Robotics – IROBOT'’2005 (held at EPIA’2005), IROBOT'’2007 (held at
EPIA’2007) and IROBOT’2008 (held at IBERAMIA’2008). As in previous
editions, its main purpose is to bring together researchers, engineers and
other professionals interested in the application of AI techniques in real/simulated
robotics to discuss current work and future directions. Each edition tries
to promote a focal debate theme.
This year’s
edition will target the above referred “Cognitive versus Reactive
approaches – hybridization is the solution?”. A related aspect will be
explored, consisting on analyzing these models from the point of view of
stringent applications of mobile robots, in particular in robotic
competitions. “Are the theoretical models of any use when real time
competition is the goal?” These topics will be the subject of panel
discussions led by well known researchers with vast experience in robotics
and their different applications, in particular, mobile robot competitions.
Nevertheless a non exhaustive list of topics that may be addressed is suggested
next.

EPIA 2009
Fourteenth Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence
The 14th Portuguese
Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA'2009, will take place at the University of Aveiro in October 12-15, 2009. As
in previous years,
this international conference is hosted with the patronage of the
Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA). The purpose of this conference is to
promote research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), covering
both theoretical/foundational issues and applications, and the scientific
exchange among researchers, engineers and practitioners in related
disciplines.
Conference Format
To promote
discussions among participants, the coming conference will be structured as
a set of thematic tracks. In addition to the parallel sessions for the
different tracks, there will be plenary sessions with invited lectures
given by leading scientists. Depending on the number of tracks, up to 3
parallel sessions may be scheduled.
A selection of high
quality full papers presented in the different tracks is expected to appear
in a book published by Springer, in the LNAI series. All remaining papers
presented at the conference will be published in a conference proceedings
book.
