One Day BMVA symposium in London, UK 14 May 2008
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 to Professor John Illingworth
([log in to unmask]) by 17:00 on Monday 7 April 2008.
Informal enquiries about the meeting can be directed to John Illingworth at
the above email address or via phone on 01483 689835.
