Call for Papers/Participation
International IEEE/EPSRC Workshop on Autonomous Cognitive Robotics
University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, UK, 27-28 March 2014
http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~ahu/COGROB2014
Cognitive Robotics is an emerging discipline, fusing ideas across several traditional domains and seeks to further our understanding in two problem domains. First, by instantiating brain models into an embodied form, it supplies a strong test of those models, thereby furthering out understanding of neurobiology and cognitive psychology. Second, by harnessing the insights we have about cognition, it is a potentially fruitful source of engineering solutions to a range of problems in robotics, and in particular, in areas such as intelligent autonomous vehicles and assistive technology. It therefore promises next generation solutions in the design of urban autonomous vehicles, planetary rovers, and artificial social (e)companions.
The aim of this 2-day workshop is to bring together leading international and UK scientists, engineers and industry representatives, alongside European research network and EU funding unit leaders, to present state-of-the-art in autonomous cognitive systems and robotics research, and discuss future R&D challenges and opportunities.
We welcome contributions from people working in: neurobiology, cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, control engineering, and computer science, who embrace the vision outlined above. If you wish to contribute, please email an abstract of not more than 300 words (by 1 Feb 2014) to: eya@cs.stir.ac.uk Both "works-in-progress" and fully-developed ideas are welcome.
Selected abstracts will be invited for oral presentation but there will also be poster sessions. We also welcome people at all stages of their career to submit. Authors of selected best presentations will be invited to submit extended papers for publication in a special issue of Springer's Cognitive Computation journal (http://www.springer.com/12559)
