TAROS 2010
Ultimamente mi sono dato da fare nel pubblicizzare eventi, posizioni aperte, ecc… in giro per il mondo e quasi mi dimenticavo di menzionare qualcosa che accadra’ proprio in qui a Plymouth. Nel periodo compreso tra il 31 agosto al 2 settembre prossimi, per merito di Guido Bugmann e Tony Belpaeme, la ridente cittadina del south-west inglese sara’ infatti l’host dell’edizione 2010 di TAROS (International Conference Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems).
Arrivo decisamente in ritardo, ma con una buona notizia per coloro i quali si fossero a loro volta persi la call for papers originale: la deadline e’ stata estesa alla fine di aprile. Per ulteriori dettagli, copio/incollo dalla mail che mi e’ appena arrivata.
TAROS is a platform for robotics researchers and industry with a wide range of interests from the UK, Europe and worldwide.
Plenary Speakers
Plenary presentations will be given by Giorgio Metta (IIT, Genoa) and Geoff Pegman (R.U. Robots, Manchester).
Call for contributions
TAROS-10 welcomes submissions from senior researchers and research students alike, and will specifically provide opportunities for research students and young research scientists to present their work to the scientific community. An indicative list of topics is provided below.
Special Session on Personal and Service Robotics.
Submission are encouraged in this area of rapid growth, e.g. on user needs and experiences, technical progress and bottlenecks, and all relevant forms of scientific developments.
Industry Workshop
An extra half day has been added to this year’s edition, to host an industrial symposium on developments in service robotics, on 2 September 2010. Please consult the conference’s website for more details.
List of topics
Submissions of papers are invited in any of the following topics, and in related areas:
* Advanced applications of autonomous robots (industrial and research)
* Advanced materials
* Advanced medical robotics, robots for surgery
* Analysis of robot-environment interaction
* Applications development
* Assistive Robotics
* Autonomous assembly robotics
* Biologically inspired robotics
* Cognitive robotics
* Collective robots
* Developmental robotics
* Hardware issues, devices and techniques, advanced sensor and actuator hardware
* Human-Robot Interaction and Interfaces
* Learning and adaptation
* Long-term Interaction and Operation
* Modeling and analysis of robot models
* Navigation, localization, map building and path planning
* Personal robotics
* Robot autonomy
* Robot vision, sensing and perception
* Robot control architectures
* Robots in education, the arts and entertainment
* Service robotics
* Space and planetary robotics
Credo che sara’ un’ottima occasione per rientrare a Plymouth a controllare com’e’ la situazione…
