Hello all, You are invited to submit a paper for presentation at the First Workshop on General Intelligence for Humanoid Robots, to be held at ICRA-14, the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. The workshop will be June 1, 2014; and ICRA as a whole will run May 31 - June 7, 2014, in Hong Kong.
The deadline for paper submission is March 10, 2014. See the workshop website here: http://www.agi-society.org/icra-2014-workshop-general-intelligence-for-humanoid-robots/ and the overall ICRA site here: http://www.icra2014.com/ In addition to contributed talks, the workshop will feature keynotes by: -- Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, from the EPFL "Blue Brain" Project: "Neurobotics in the Human Brain Project" -- Ben Goertzel, from the OpenCog Project: "Using Robots and Virtual Worlds Together to Advance General Intelligence" -- David Hanson, from Hanson Robotics (creator of Robot Einstein): "Creating Conversational Character Robots" -- Mark Tilden, creator of RoboSapien and BEAM robotics: "Analog Biomorphic Robot Design: An Applied Example" Why a workshop on humanoid robots and general intelligence? The synergy between these two pursuits is almost obvious: -- To create mobile robots, active in everyday human environments, able to carry out a variety of goals in a flexible way, requires one to make a fair degree of headway toward the broader problem of Artificial General Intelligence. -- The intersection between robotics and AGI is particularly important where humanoid robotics are concerned, as people naturally expect the humanoid robots they interact with to display a certain level human-like savvy. -- The humanoid form factor also presents unique opportunities for learning intelligent behaviors via emotionally rich interactions with humans. The workshop will focus on the full breadth of issues at the intersection of humanoid robotics and Artificial General Intelligence, including but not limited to topics such as: -- analog hardware for adaptive control and perceptual-motor integration -- autonomy -- emotional intelligence -- entity and event identification -- generally-intelligent adaptive control or perception -- modeling of other agents (robotic or human) -- self-modeling -- sensorimotor integration -- spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal reasoning -- symbol grounding -- theory of mind Today, in 2014, both robotics and AI are at the point where it is possible address these fundamental and difficult issues head on, practically as well as theoretically. We hope you'll be able to join us in Hong Kong for what we expect to be a groundbreaking workshop, in the midst of an overall outstanding ICRA conference. Yours, The workshop chairs: Ben Goertzel David Hanson Mark Tilden Gino Yu ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
