NeuroBotics - Bioinspired computation for Robotics - Call for papers

[Stefan Wermter]

***************************************

International Workshop on NeuroBotics:

Bioinspired Computation for Robotics

****************************************

20 September 2004


Call for Papers
---------------

Substantial progress has been made recently in bio-inspired 
computation and robotics. This international workshop invites 
contributions to robotics which use methods of learning or 
artificial neural networks and/or  are inspired by observations 
and results in neuroscience, cognitive science and animal 
behaviour.


Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
-------

Neural networks for robots
Biomimetic robots
Learning for robotics
Cognitive robots
Speech interfaces and neural networks
Neural Vision
Talking robots
Spiking neural networks in robots
Learning self localization and mapping
Imitation and neural networks
Cognitive Development in robots
etc


Location
--------
The workshop is organised as part of the 27th Conference on
Artificial Intelligence (KI-2004) and runs parallel to the 34th 
Annual Meeting of the German Computer Science Society (Informatik 
2004). The workshop will take place on September 20, 
2004 at the University of Ulm, Germany.


Format
------
We invite contributions for half-hour talks and, if possible,
additional short demonstrations. If we receive sufficient 
submissions of high quality, we plan to publish the revised articles 
of the workshop contributions in a journal or book.

Deadlines
---------

Please send either abstracts of one page or full
papers up to 8 pages (and if appropriate, possible descriptions of 
demonstrations) until June 9, 2004 to the organisers email 
address below.

You will receive notification of acceptance, a more detailed
workshop program and regarding the planned publication  by July
5, 2004.

Workshop registration: until August 20, 2004.

Conference fees: will be not more than 100 Euro for the workshop. 
Registration at the conference will be optional.
