Its goal is to propose a novel approach for solving car-sharing vehicles redistribution problem using vehicle platoons guided by professional drivers, retrieving vehicles parked randomly on the urban parking network by users. The PRIMA group and the phD student involved in this project will focus on integrating models of human behaviors (pedestrian and/or drivers), proxemics (human management of space) and traffic rules to evaluate and communicate a risk to pedestrians that may encounter the trajectory of the VALET vehicle. -----Environment----- The objective of the PRIMA research team is to develop the scientific and technological foundations for human environments that are capable of perceiving, acting, communicating, and interacting with people in order to provide services. The construction of such environments offers a rich set of problems related to acoustic and visual perception, cognitive systems, and human-computer interaction. Our goal is to make progress on the theoretical foundations for perception and cognition, as well as to develop new forms of human-computer interaction, using interactive environments as a source of example problems. PRIMA has developed machine perception and situation modeling techniques to explore new forms of context aware services for smart environments, interactive and social computing, and real-time, robust systems for embedded computer vision. -----How to apply----- The ideal candidate has a strong background in perception and robotics. The candidate must be a proficient user of C/C++ and ROS and any relevant computer vision library (e.g., ViSP, OpenCV, PCL). Scientific curiosity, large autonomy and ability to work independently are also expected. Interested candidates must send to Anne Spalanzani (anne.spalanzani@inria.fr) the following material: - a motivation letter with any relevant information for proving a good match with the description of the activities and expected profile of the candidates - a detailed CV - name of at least two referees - results in M1 and M2 -- Anne Spalanzani MCF UPMF INRIA Rhône-Alpes/Laboratoire d'informatique de Grenoble 655 Avenue de l'Europe 38334 Saint Ismier Cedex, France Phone: +33 4 7661 5292 Fax: +33 4 7661 5477 -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo em HTML foi limpo...

To inform interested individuals and allow for building consortia, euRobotics organises a Brokerage Day 2015 which will take place on 18 November 2015, starting 9 am at the Brussels EXPO, Auditorium2000 (Place de Belgique 1, Brussels, Belgium, next to the Atomium). You are cordially invited to attend. The Brokerage Event is to bring together over 300 stakeholders from the robotics field throughout Europe to meet and discuss potential project ideas and network. You are invited to: - Bring posters representing your ideas - Make teaser presentations An online brokerage tool will be also made available to all attendees, please check any information on this tool on www.eu-robotics.net OBJECTIVES The event will allow the over 300 participants expected to make new contacts and find partners, especially during face to face matchmaking meetings. Attending the brokerage event is an excellent opportunity to receive in-depth information on the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2016-2017 in the area of Robotics ICT, but also present your ideas and form new consortia for proposals. PRELIMINARY AGENDA 9:00 - Opening and possibility to hang up posters (coffee available) 10:30 - Presentations of the Call 12:00 - Lunch Break and visit at posters 13:00 - Teaser presentations 16:30 - End REGISTRATIONS at: http://sparc-robotics.eu/eurobotics-brokerage-day-2015/ DEADLINE for registration is: 13 November 2015 Kind regards, Uwe Haass Dr. Uwe L.

Para promover um evento, devem registá-lo no site oficial: http://www.eu-robotics.net/eurobotics-week/events-2015/index.html usando o opção "Register". Para consultar as actividades que irão decorrer em Portugal, e em toda a Europa, podem também usar o link acima. A Semana Europeia da Robótica 2015 irá decorrer entre 23 e 29 de Novembro de 2015. Mais informações em: http://www.eu-robotics.net/eurobotics-week/index.html Vamos colocar Portugal no mapa da Semana Europeia da Robótica! A Semana Europeia da Robótica existe desde 2011 e concentra várias actividades relacionadas com a robótica em toda a Europa. Esta semana tem como objectivo motivar alunos de todas as idades para carreiras nas áreas de ciência, tecnologia, engenharia e matemática e mostrar ao grande público as actividades robóticas europeias. Durante esta semana podem ser promovidas palestras, visitas guiadas, laboratórios com "portas abertas", exposições, desafios, demonstrações, conferências científicas, workshops, ou qualquer outro evento que se enquadre nos objectivos da Semana Europeia da Robótica. Esta semana é um excelente período para mostrar ao público em geral o que é a robótica e o importante papel da robótica na Europa, dado que os media estão especialmente atentos. Cumprimentos robóticos, Nuno Lau (Presidente da Direcção da SPR)
