This single-track conference brings > together researchers from cognitive sciences, computer sciences, and robotics > to explore their shared interests in autonomous learning and development. The > design and study of both robotic and simulated embodied and situated > computational models that are inspired by the principles of human development > will be presented at the conference. A special event -- the «Babybot > challenge» — will see renowned psychologists challenging engineers and > modelers in how to use the tools of developmental robotics to replicate and > extend the key findings. This year, thanks to special funding from > Paris-Seine University, six renowned invited speakers will cover the > different facets of the conference. We invite you to participate in IEEE > ICDL-Epirob by sharing your research, insights, experience, and enthusiasm. > A social event “on the paths of the impressionists” will allow you to > discover the old city of Pontoise and Auvers sur Oise where Vincent Van Gogh > painted some of his most famous masterpieces. Excursions to Paris, Versailles > and Giverny will be proposed for spouses. > > == Keynote speakers > * Tamim Asfour (http://h2t.anthropomatik.kit.edu/english/21_66.php > <http://h2t.anthropomatik.kit.edu/english/21_66.php>) > * Karl Friston (http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~karl > <http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~karl>) > * Julie Grezes > (http://iec-lnc.ens.fr/social-cognition-group/membres-100/faculty-177/grezes-julie-dr2/?lang=en > > <http://iec-lnc.ens.fr/social-cognition-group/membres-100/faculty-177/grezes-julie-dr2/?lang=en>) > * Tony Prescott > (https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academic/tony-prescott > <https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academic/tony-prescott>) > * Daniela Corbetta (http://web.utk.edu/~infntlab > <http://web.utk.edu/~infntlab>) > > == Call for submissions of workshops and papers > We invite submissions for this exciting window into the future of > developmental sciences. > Submissions which establish novel links between brain, behavior and > computation are particularly encouraged. > > == Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): > * the development of perceptual, motor, cognitive, emotional, social, and > communication skills in biological systems and robots; > * embodiment; > * general principles of development and learning; > * interaction of nature and nurture; > * sensitive/critical periods; > * developmental psychology; > * developmental stages; > * grounding of knowledge and development of representations; > * architectures for cognitive development and open-ended learning; > * neural plasticity; > * statistical learning; > * reward and value systems; > * intrinsic motivations, exploration and play; > * interaction of development and evolution; > * use of robots in applied settings such as autism therapy; > * epistemological foundations and philosophical issues. > Any of the topics above can be simultaneously studied from the neuroscience, > psychology or modeling/robotic point of view. > > == Submissions will be accepted in several formats: > > 1. Full six-page paper submissions: Accepted papers will be included in the > conference proceedings and will be selected for either an oral presentation > or a featured poster presentation. Featured posters will have a 1 minute > "teaser" presentation as part of the main conference session and will be > showcased in the poster sessions. > > 2. Two-page poster abstract submissions: To encourage discussion of > late-breaking results or for work that is not sufficiently mature for a full > paper, we will accept 2-page abstracts. These submissions will be included in > the conference proceedings. Accepted abstracts will be presented during > poster sessions. > > 3. Tutorials and workshops: We invite experts in different areas to organize > either a tutorial or a workshop to be held on the first day of the > conference. Tutorials are meant to provide insights into specific topics as > well as overviews that will inform the interdisciplinary audience about the > state-of-the-art in child development, neuroscience, robotics, or any of the > other disciplines represented at the conference. A workshop is an opportunity > to present a topic cumulatively. Workshop can be half- or full-day in > duration including oral presentations as well as posters. Submission format: > two pages. > > == Call for Tutorials and Workshops > We invite experts in different areas to organize a tutorial or workshop, > which will be held on the first day of the conference ( September 19th 2016 > ).
