IJCAI-13 Robot Competition and Exhibition

Call for Participation

COMPETITION

IJCAI-13 will host a Robot Competition to help raise awareness  of
robotics in the AI community and to identify robotics problems that AI can
help to address. The competition will take place at IJCAI -13 in Beijing
and it is open to all intelligent robots.

There will be four prizes on offer for real-time robot demonstrations in
the following categories: physical skills (e.g. manipulation and motion),
social skills (e.g. human-robot interaction,multi-robot collaboration,
theory of mind), service tasks (e.g. general-purpose service, cleaning the
house, cocktail waiter, security guard) and open (e.g. incredibly awesome
applications). The key criteria are as follows:

(i) Innovation - what new value or potential impact does the demonstrated
capability bring;

(ii) Significance - quality of new AI/Robotics research questions it
addresses or exposes;

(iii) Technical Quality - how well is the demonstration accomplished;

(iv) Understandability - quality of the demonstration presentation.

Each demonstration is expected to be performed in an arena (like a living
room) and required to be completed in less than 10 minutes with
synchronous presentation/commendatory, followed by a 10 minute Q&A.

EXHIBITION

A robot exhibition will be held together with the 2013 IJCAI Robot
Competition. The Robot Exhibition is designed to provide a unique
opportunity for universities and companies to bring your robots and show
them at the exhibit area, which is open to the conference participants and
the public. If you are interested in participating in the IJCAI Robot
Exhibition, please send the registration form to jian...@ustc.edu.cn by
