SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
FIRA-ISI'2001 ROBOT SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP
Robotics competitions have become popular and attract people from all walks
of life throughout the world irrespective of their ages. Robot soccer makes
heavy demands in all the key areas of robot technology, mechanics, sensors,
communication, and intelligence. The hope of course, is that by discovering
how to get a robot to move with agility, see with acuity, and think perceptively
in the limited context of a soccer game, it will be possible to use the same
techniques to build robots to carry out other more useful tasks.

CONGRESS LOCATION
Dubai is the second largest Emirate in the United Arabian Emirates and
home to over half a million people. Located midway between Europe and
the Far East it boasts a strong multicultural environment, luring residents
and travelers from all corners of the world. The capital city, also called
Dubai, is a booming metropolis that has been strongly influenced by its
fishing and trading roots. Dubai is currently a business/trade hub for the
entire region from South Africa to CIS countries, and from Morocco to the
Indian subcontinent.
There are many adventures to be had in the city of Dubai and its surrounding
areas, including desert safaris, coastal tours, camel racing and much more.
Thanks to Free Trade, Dubai is definitely also a place for shoppers, where
you will find just about everything from designers labels to local handicrafts.
The congress will take place during the Dubai shopping festival, which takes
place in March of each year. This is a huge festival during which more than
10 million tourists visit Dubai from all over the world. A large number of
events
happen during this festival, and these events will be part of our social
program.
More details about the shopping festival are available at http://www.mydsf.com
Dubai is now moving in a very fast pace towards the net-economy, with the
creation of the new tax-free area for E-commerce related companies from all
over the world. Visit the Dubai Internet City at
