Invitation to the Social Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Multimedia
(SoRAIM) Winter School, 19-23 Feb 2024, Grenoble, France
#######################################################

The SoRAIM multi-disciplinary Winter School (https://spring-h2020.eu/soraim/,
19-23 February 2024, Grenoble, France) will provide an overview of the
scientific, technological, and ethical questions in Social Robotics.
Several top-level speakers will introduce and discuss the relevant areas
for building socially aware robots that communicate and interact with
humans, including:

·        Speech source localization and separation
·        Mapping and visual self-localization
·        Social-aware robot navigation
·        Tracking and analysis of human behavior
·        Dialog management, natural language understanding, and generation
·        Robotic middle-ware and software integration
·        Ethics and experimental design

SoRAIM aims to foster discussion between experts in these fields and to
expose students (from Master level), young researchers and engineers to
highly qualified scientists and experts. It will provide an opportunity to
interact and discuss with researchers in the field, present your research
in the form of a poster, and participate in wider topic discussions with
your peers.

Registration is free of charge BUT we ask that if you register, you attend
the full program. Travel and accommodation fees must be taken in charge on
your side. Some grants will be attributed to applicants based on merit,
gender, and diversity criteria.

Registration link: https://sondages.inria.fr/index.php/328215?lang=en

Registrations will be treated on a first come first served basis combined
with merit assessment based on your CV and –if applicable (Master, PhD
students)—recommendation from your supervisor.

SoRAIM is organized by the Horizon 2020 SPRING project (spring-h2020.eu),
funded by the European Commission. SPRING seeks to develop Socially
Assistive Robots with the capacity to perform multi-person interactions and
open-domain dialogue in a gerontological healthcare institution. Starting
in 2020, it has produced ground-breaking research to allow robots to move,
see, hear, and communicate with several actors in complex and unstructured
populated spaces.

Looking forward to seeing you in Grenoble next February,
The SoRAIM organization committee.
