Call for Papers

[Kenneth Goldberg]

Announcing:
	 	Workshop on Neural Networks in Robotics
		   University of Southern California
		         October 23-25, 1991 
	   Sponsor: The Center for Neural Engineering at USC

	The goal of the workshop will be to stimulate discussion 
	on the 	current status and potential advances in this 
	field. The workshop will be concerned with (but not limited 
	to) issues such as:
		Connectionist approaches to robot control
		Combined machine/connectionist learning 	
	 	Path planning and obstacle avoidance 	
		Inverse kinematics and dynamics 
		Transfer of skills from humans to robots 	
		Intelligent robots in manufacturing 
		Multiple interacting robot systems 
		Neural network architectures for robot control 
		Sensor fusion and interaction 	
		Task learning by robots	
		Biological models for robot control
	
	The Organizing Committee includes Michael Arbib (USC), 
	Jacob Barhen (JPL), Andrew Barto (Univ of Massachussetts), 
	George Bekey (USC) and Ken Goldberg (USC). 

	Submissions:  3 copies of extended abstracts of proposed 
	presentations (2 to 4 pages in length) by May 15, 1990 to 
	Prof. George Bekey, Chairman, Technical Program Committee, 
	c/o Computer Science Department, University of Southern
