EPIROB2003--EPIROB2003-EPIROB2003-EPIROB2003  Call for Papers


Location: Boston, MA, USA (held after the Cognitive Science Society
meeting)

**** Deadline for Submission of Papers & Posters: 14 March 2003 ****

This workshop focuses on combining developmental psychology and robotics
and
generally on:

(a) the embodiment of the system;
(b) its situatedness in a physical and social environment;
(c) a prolonged developmental process through which varied and complex
    cognitive and perceptual structures emerge as a result of an
embodied
    system interacting with a physical and social environment.

Invited Speakers
    Gyцrgy Gergely (Institute for Psychological Research,
Hungarian Academy
        of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary)
    Rod Grupen (Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics, University of
        Massachusetts Amherst, MA, USA)
    Deb Roy (Media Lab, MIT, USA)
