One Day BMVA symposium to be held on 24 March 2010 in London
Chairs: John Illingworth (Surrey University) and Adrian Clark (Essex
University)
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. This meeting is the
3rd in a series of biennial meeting on this topic
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 8 February 2010.
Informal enquiries about the meeting can be directed to John Illingworth
at the above email address or via phone on 01483 689835.
