4th IEEE-RAS/IFRR School of Robotics Science on Learning
from IEEE-RAS news
(2007/7/8 8:00)
|
Applications are now open Deadline for application is July, 20 2007 BACKGROUND The development of robust and intelligent service robots requires very advancedcapabilities, especially from a cognitive point of view. Even in simpleapplications, a service robot needs to understand complex and dynamicsituations, for which no pre-programmed function can be fully satisfactory. Thus a robot must continuously adapt to its changing world and develop ways toaddress, and possibly carry out, instances of problems for which it has notbeen instructed in advance. For these reasons, learning new skills, newsettings and new ways to carry out a given task is one of the prerequisite offuture service robots. GOALS The 4th IEEE-RAS/IFRR school, also open to participants from industry, aims atexploring various learning paradigms and their applications in robotics systemsand, in particular, will pursue the ambitious objective of comparing theirperformance in a given situation.

RAS WIKI is up and running!
from IEEE-RAS news
(2007/3/12 8:00)
|
The new RAS Webpage now has its own WIKI, which already contains news of employment and research oppportunities, BoF groups meeting in Rome, at ICRA2007, workshops, tutorials, special sessions and other events at ICRA, and information about an Open Source Grand Challenge. The RAS WIKI is open to the public to view, but only registered RAS members may post. If you have not already registered on the new webpage, send your name and IEEE number to the RAS Administrator, who will register you and send you login information. Please note: This is DIFFERENT from the login info for the IEEE webpage. The RAS WIKI has been developed as a joint effort of the RAS Electronic Products and Services Board (Stefano Stramigioli, chair) and the Student Activities Board (Surya Singh) with the assistance of our invaluable web designer, Olaf van Zandwijk. They will all be at ICRA and welcome your suggestions. DEFINITIONS (for those who are neither Gen X, Gen Y or the Millennial Generation)WIKI: "The simples ...
