One Day BMVA symposium in London, UK
5 April 2006
Chair: John Illingworth (University of Surrey)
One of the initial inspirations of AI researchers was the challenge of
producing autonomous and seeing machines. We have since learnt that the
problems encountered are far more difficult than could have been imagined.
The enormity of the problem has led to specialization of function and
expertise into sub-disciplines, of which robotics and computer-vision are
two prime examples. Thus, two related but often distinct communities of
researchers have grown up. The purpose of this meeting will be to bring
together practitioners from both communities and showcase work where there
is overlap of interests, thereby encouraging future multi-disciplinary
collaboration.
Papers are sought that relate to the intelligent integration of cameras,
computers and actuating machines in challenging environments. Topics that
would be of interest include, but are not restricted to,
Visually guided mobile robots
Medical and surgical robotics
Industrial service robots
Cognitive robots
Household robots
Computational and cognitive theories of robots
Humanoid and toy robots
Please submit an extended summary of about one A4-sized page (no longer
than two pages) in length (PDF preferred) and which includes links or
pointers to web-based illustrations, demonstration material or papers
giving more details.
Please submit papers by email attachment (1Mb max please!) to Professor
John Illingworth ([log in to unmask]) by 17:00 on Monday 9th
January 2006.
Informal enquiries about the meeting can be directed to John Illingworth at
