CALL FOR PAPERS



Autonomous Robots and Multirobot Systems (ARMS) 2012



A full-day workshop to be held as part of AAMAS-2012 and to accompany the AAMAS Special Track on Robotics



June 2012, Valencia, Spain

Website: http://mmi.tudelft.nl/arms2012/



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Important Dates

  Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2012

  Notification of acceptance: March 27, 2012

  Submission of camera-ready version: April 10, 2012



Overview

-------------

Robots are agents, too.  Indeed, agent researchers are sometimes inspired by robots, sometimes use robots in motivating examples, and sometimes make contributions to robotics. Both practical and analytical techniques in agent research influence, and are influenced by, research into autonomous robots and multi-robot systems. Areas of particular recent cross-fertilization include (but are not limited

to):



- motion planning and path planning for single and multiple mobile robots

- market-based for coalition formation and task allocation

- machine learning in robotics

- multi-robot teams and swarms

- human-agent-robot teamwork

- analysis of large-scale multi-robot systems and swarms

- decision-theoretic single- and multi-robot planning

- imitation and learning by demonstration/example

- formal methods and control architectures

- Canonical robotics problems, such as robotic soccer, coverage,

   foraging, or patrolling



Despite the rich cross-fertilization between AAMAS and robotics research areas, roboticists and agents researchers have only a few opportunities to meet and interact. The recently established robotics track at AAMAS is one such opportunity. The goal of the proposed workshop is to extend and widen this opportunity, by offering a forum where researchers in this area of research can interact and present promising innovative research directions, and new results. The workshop is coordinated and associated with the AAMAS robotics track.



Submissions and Publication

----------------------------------------

The submission website is http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arms2012.



Contributions are sought in all areas of robotics, in particular as related to autonomous agents research, but not necessarily so.

Theoretical papers are welcome, as long as they clearly address challenges in robotics. Empirical studies should ideally present experiments with real robots, though physical simulation studies are also acceptable.  Papers that focus on mechanical aspects and low-level control should be make an effort to relate to the agents community.



Submissions should follow Springer's LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and should not exceed 16 pages in length.
