Special Session on Artificial Life and
Computational Intelligence in Robotics
Hosted within ACALCI2015
http://newcastle.edu.au/ACALCI2015
Newcastle, Australia, Feb. 5-7, 2014
Papers Due: September 27, 2014
Scope
Worldwide there is growing investment in the area of robotics with increasing interest
in autonomous robots. The task to develop autonomous robots and employ them in
real world applications requires techniques that go beyond traditional artificial
intelligence, robot control and automation. It involves a wide interdisciplinary spectrum
of techniques from machine learning, cognitive neuroscience, computer vision,
advanced control, human-robot interaction, affective computing, optimisation,
software engineering and associated areas. This special session aims at presenting
and discussing new inspiring research that contributes to a modern picture of the
interdisciplinary research field of robotics.
