International Symposium on PRACTICAL COGNITIVE AGENTS and ROBOTS --- Celebrating 50 Years of Artificial Intelligence --- FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS http://agents.csse.uwa.edu.au/pcar/ Paper Submission: September 30, 2006 27- 28 November, 2006 (Perth, Australia) INVITED SPEAKERS: Masahiro Fujita - General Manager, Chief Distinguished Researcher, Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory, Information Technologies Laboratories, Sony Corporation, Japan. Technical Leader of Sony's entertainment robot AIBO and humanoid QRIO. Patrick Doherty - Professor of Computer Science, Department of Computer and Information Science, Linköping University, and Director for LinkLab, a Center for Future Aviation Systems, which is a joint venture between Saab Aero Systems and Linköping University. Mobile autonomous robots can perform complex tasks in unstructured and dynamic environments. Advances in autonomous mobile robotics over the last decade have been extraordinary, and the potential for future scientific breakthroughs and applications is breathtaking. However, a number of bottlenecks to future advancement have been identified such as building robots that know what they are doing, and that can adapt to changing conditions and requirements. This symposium seeks to move the research frontier by focusing on the scientific bottlenecks, namely equipping robots with more knowledge about internal representations and the external world, as well as developing an awareness of oneself and others. he symposium aims at soliciting leading edge research ideas and results from practical research on implementing knowledge representation and high-level reasoning into mobile autonomous robots. Papers on autonomous agents and robots in general are all welcome, and the following areas are highly encouraged, * Grounding representations to sensorimotor experiences * Integrating knowledge representation into behaviour based robots * Inter-robot and human-robot interaction, communication and collaboration * How to build robots that know what they are doing * Semantic Web or agent applications for robots * Cognitive robotics * Robot and autonmous agent perception and world modeling * Intelligent robotic applications Come and join the celebration of 50 years research in Artificial Intelligence! PUBLICATION of PAPERS Accepted papers will be published by the University of Western Australia Press and available on CDs with an ISBN 1-74052-131-5, and will be included in the ACM Digital Library. The best papers will be invited to submit to a Special Issue of the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems (JAAMAS) edited by the symposium chairs and scheduled for publication in late 2008.
