The purpose of the 15th International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines (CLAWAR2012) is to provide a venue where researchers, academics, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world can come together to present and discuss the latest achievements, future challenges and exciting applications for mobile machines in general, and climbing and walking robots in particular.

2012 Robotics: Science and Systems Conference

Yuan — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:43:17 +0000

When:	View in Calendar » 2012年07月9日 – 2012年07月13日 (all-day)
Where:	University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia

Robotics Science and Systems (RSS) 2011 will bring together researchers working on algorithmic and mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotic systems. The conference is single-track, and the final program will be the result of a highly selective review process, to give attendees an opportunity to see the best research in all areas of robotics. The program will include invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The main conference will be preceded by one and a half days of workshops and tutorials. Every effort is being made to keep conference expenses affordable, particularly for student attendees. All papers presented at the conference will be made freely available for download on the Internet.

浙大打乒乓机器人

Yuan — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:47:05 +0000

浙江大学研制出可以打乒乓球的机器人――“悟”、“空”，名字很中国，外形也很中国，连运动项目也是中国的强项。两个机器人可以打很多回合都没问题，具有30个自由度，控制回路周期只有1ms，打球的反应时间在100ms以内，回球精度有2.5cm。

不过机器人打球的时候基本站着不动，只动一个手；其次还需要额外的摄像头来跟踪球的轨迹。而且国内机器人研发中需要的部分核心器件仍依赖进口，国内产业研发制造能力不足，仍是重要瓶颈之一。

Swarm intelligence is a relatively new discipline that deals with the study of self-organizing processes both in nature and in artificial systems. Researchers in ethology and animal behavior have proposed many models to explain interesting aspects of social insect behavior such as self-organization and shape-formation. Recently, algorithms inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult computational problems.

An example of a particularly successful research direction in swarm intelligence is ant colony optimization, the main focus of which is on discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been applied successfully to a large number of difficult discrete optimization problems including the traveling salesman problem, the quadratic assignment problem, scheduling, vehicle routing, etc., as well as to routing in telecommunication networks. Another interesting approach is that of particle swarm optimization, that focuses on continuous optimization problems. Here too, a number of successful applications can be found in the recent literature. Swarm robotics is another relevant field. Here, the focus is on applying swarm intelligence techniques to the control of large groups of cooperating autonomous robots.

ANTS 2012 will give researchers in swarm intelligence the opportunity to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current developments and applications.

WAFR 2012

Where:	Cambridge, MA, USA

The International Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics (WAFR) is a single-track workshop devoted to recent advances on algorithmic problems in robotics. Robot algorithms are a fundamental component of robotic systems. These algorithms process inputs from sensors that provide noisy and partial data, build geometric and physical models of the world, plan high-and low-level actions at different time horizons, and execute these actions on actuators with limited precision. The design and analysis of robot algorithms raise a unique combination of questions from many fields, including control theory, computational geometry and topology, geometrical and physical modeling, reasoning under uncertainty, probabilistic algorithms, game theory, and theoretical computer science.
