Call for Papers

The RoboCup 2002 International Symposium

Purpose and Scope
The 6th RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction and immediately after the RoboCup 2002 Competitions and Demonstrations as the core meeting for the presentation of scientific contributions in areas of relevance to RoboCup. Its scope is mainly within the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Education. The symposium will include invited talks by John Blitch, Mitsuo Kawato, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Lynne Parker, and technical paper presentations in a broad range of areas of interest, including:

  • Multi-Agent Systems
  • Multi-Robot Systems
  • Sensor-Motor Control
  • Vision and Image-Processing
  • Self-localization and Navigation
  • Planning, Reasoning, and Modeling
  • Learning and Adaptive Systems
  • Cooperation and Collaboration
  • Simulation and Visualization
  • Realtime and Concurrent Pogramming
  • Embedded and Mobile Hardware
  • Non-conventional actuation systems, especially artificial muscles
  • Next generation sensors for robotics
  • Mobile Robots and Humanoids
  • Search and rescue robots
  • Robotics and Science Education
  • Adjustable Autonomy
  • Adversarial Planning
  • Disaster rescue information systems
  • System integration and Software-Engineering
  • Computer and Robotic Entertainment
  • Speech Synthesis and Natural Language Generation
  • Distributed Sensor Fusion
  • Omnidirectional Vision
  • Dynamic Resource Allocation/Heterogeneous Agents
  • Smart Materials
  • Fuel Cell Batteries
  • New Devices and Materials for Robots
Submission
We invite submissions of papers reporting on high quality, original work to the RoboCup Symposium. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the RoboCup International Symposium provides an excellent opportunity to introduce and spread novel ideas and approaches into various scientific disciplines. We invite people who do not actively participate in RoboCup to submit their work on the topics above or related ones. The experimental character of the RoboCup games gives in addition the possibility to get novel ideas and approaches adopted and field-tested by a constantly growing community. Papers describing real-world research as well as papers dealing with strong theoretical results are both welcome. We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for any field related to the scope of RoboCup, especially the ones listed above.

The proceedings of RoboCup are published within the Springer LNAI-series.
All submissions to the International Symposium enter the selection process for the RoboCup "Scientific Challenge Award", which recognizes outstanding research within a field related to the scope of RoboCup.
