We have just completed a short summary of the post-NIPS workshop on
"Robot Learning" and have placed the summary in the neuroprose
archives (with the assistance, of course, of Jordan Pollack).

The goal of this workshop was to provide a forum for researchers
active in the area of robot learning and related fields.  Due to the
limited time available, we attempted to focus discussion around two
major issues: 1) How can current learning robot techniques scale to
more complex domains, characterized by massive sensor input, complex
causal interactions, and long time scales? 2) Where are the new ideas
in robot learning coming from?
