Workshop on Advances
in Robot Learning and Human-Robot Interaction
(12 September 2012) |
Organizers
The workshop is organized by the IEEE Technical Committee on Robot Learning, with chairs:
Petar Kormushev, Italian Institute of
Technology, Italy
Edwin Olson, University of Michigan, USA
Ashutosh Saxena, Cornell
University, USA
Wataru Takano, University
of Tokyo, Japan
Objectives
The robot hardware is progressively becoming more complex, which leads to growing interest in applying machine learning approaches within the robotics community. At the same time, researchers in human-robot interaction often apply techniques borrowed from artificial intelligence. This workshop will focus on recent advances in applying machine learning and AI approaches to robotics in general, and in particular to the domain of human-robot interaction. Both theoretical and practical results are of interest.
The workshop will also serve as a 2012 kick-off for the new chairs of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Robot Learning.
