Connectionists: [CFP] Special Session on Neurorobotics at ICANN 2023 - Call for Papers

[Stefan Wermter]

Special Session on Neurorobotics

at the 32nd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks 
(ICANN) 2023 - Call for Papers

Conference Dates: 26th to 29th of September 2023

=======================================================================

The special session invites contributions on recent advances in 
neurorobotics. Neurorobotics brings together interdisciplinary research 
in machine learning, robotics and bio-inspired artificial intelligence. 
Embodying neural models in a physical agent allows interacting with and 
learning from a complex and multimodal environment. This makes robots an 
ideal platform for neural network learning on topics like multimodal and 
active sensing, complex object manipulation and navigation, neural 
reinforcement learning or verbal and non-verbal social interaction.  For 
research in machine learning, robotic control provides a complex and 
challenging test environment where neural approaches can be evaluated 
and improved with regard to their ability to adapt, generalize and cope 
with noisy input. For neuro- and cognitive science research, 
neurorobotics provides an environment to implement, evaluate and refine 
models of biological and human information processing.

SPECIAL SESSION TOPICS
In the session on Neurorobotics, we want to bring together researchers 
with diverse backgrounds and expertise to promote collaboration and 
knowledge sharing in the field of Neurorobotics. We welcome submissions on:

●    Neural control and learning in robotics
●    Sensor fusion, multimodal and active sensing in robots
●    Bio-inspired and developmental robotics
●    Human-robot interaction and dialogs based on neural models
