Workshop
The Fourth Workshop on Smart Robotics
This workshop aims to bring together a diverse and multidisciplinary group of researchers interested in intelligent sensors, computer vision, geometric processing, automation and robotics, and encourage the integration of various research streams from automation, smart devices, robotics and other relevant disciplines. The theme is “making smart automation devices and robot systems be able to perceive and learn from the environment, to independently work or provide support in work-intensive, difficult and possibly complex situations, and to gain higher level intelligence like social behavior and cognitions.” The topics of this workshop will cover, but not limited to:
- Geometric computing for automation;
- Scene understanding of automation;
- Smart control architectures of automation;
- Intelligent human-robot interaction;
- Robots and smart manipulation;
- System software for automation;
- Security and safety of automation.
- Brain mapping and integrated computational model
- Awareness and autonomy for social robots
- Enhanced visual memory
- Visual attention models
- Visual search, understanding and recognition
- Tracking and sensing
- Perception, presence, and cognition
- Navigation for robots
- Multiparty dialogs with robots
- Decision making for social robots
- Personality in social robots
- Vision based locomotion
- Learning through vision
- Cooperation between humans and social robots
