The IEEE-RAS Autonomous Robotics (AuR) study group (http://www.ieee-ras.org/industry-government/standards/autonomous-robotics-group) organizes the AROW 2017 workshop in IEEE RO-MAN 2017 to discuss the requirements and development of autonomous robotics ontology in perspective of Robot and Human Interactive Communications. ===================================================================================================================== AROW 2017 is a half-day workshop, including one invited talk by Stefano Borgo of Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR , Italy), one paper presentation session and one interactive poster session by contributing participants. After the presentations, there will be a Panel discussion, focused on: - Robot and human interactive communications and autonomous robotics ontology: What is the vocabulary needed for development? What type of architecture is needed for robot ontology? - Robot and human interactive communications case studies. :: Important Dates :: - Extended abstract submission due date: June 25th, 2017 - Extended abstract notification of acceptance/rejection: July 9th, 2017 - Camera-ready version due date: July 20th, 2017 - Workshop day: September 1st, 2017 :: Objectives :: The IEEE-RAS Autonomous Robotics (AuR) study group (http://www.ieee-ras.org/industry-government/standards/autonomous-robotics-group) presents the AROW 2017 workshop in IEEE RO-MAN 2017 to discuss the requirements and development of autonomous robot ontology in perspective of Robot and Human Interactive Communications. Indeed, future autonomous systems need to work in teams and communicate with humans and other robots such as unmanned vehicles to share information and coordinate activities The workshop will provide thus the opportunity for the participants to evaluate the work done so far and to further share knowledge about the different R&A domains (e.g. aerial, ground, surface, underwater, and space robots) in order to identify new concepts and axioms as well as to define appropriate relations between these concepts and their properties to facilitate interactions between humans and autonomous robots. The advances in robotics systems around the globe show a very promising future where robots and humans will share the same environment as partners. Robots might work in factories, malls, and airports. In all cases, both humans and robots should communicate to each other to exchange information. An effective way of achieving this goal is to standardize terminology in the Robotics and Automation (R&A) domain, as it has been done in the past in other domains. We propose to discuss current work towards a standard for autonomous robots that specifies domain concepts and relationships as ontology. The proposed workshop will serve the following sectors: Public sector using autonomous robots to deliver automated services, such as police and emergency responders; Health service providers; Transformation industry; Mining and construction industry; Oil and gas industry. :: List of Topics for the contributed talks / poster session :: - Standards for robotics and automation and Robot and Human Interactive Communications (RHIC) - Ontology development for RHIC and robotics and automation - Ontology based standards for engineering and RHIC - Knowledge representation for RHIC, robotics and automation - Reasoning techniques for robotics and automation ontologies - Context awareness - Activity recognition - Ontology engineering frameworks and methodologies - Robot-robot interaction and/or human-robot interaction using ontologies - Human-robot intention recognition - Knowledge representation and reasoning in ubiquitous environments. :: Submissions :: - A two page abstract is mandatory for the contributing authors to present their work in the sorkshop. - The presentation will be oral or by poster upon evaluation of the extended abstract by the TPC. - The template for the extended abstract is the same used for the papers of the main IEEE RO-MAN conference. - Submissions should be sent to the workshop organizers (paulo.goncalves@ipcb.pt) - Accepted full paper contributions will be published in the online CEUR Workshop Proceedings >. :: Invited speaker :: - Stefano Borgo, Laboratory for Applied Ontology (ISTC-CNR , Italy) Website: http://www.loa.istc.cnr.it/people/borgo - Sandro Rama Fiorini, Lissi Lab, Universitè Paris-Est Créteil, Paris, France - Veera Ragavan Sampath Kumar, Monash University, Malaysia :: Organizers :: - Paulo J.S.

This group arose from the fruitful discussions conducted in *The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems*(2) which aims to establish a global conversation among experts and leaders from academia, science, government and corporate sector about how to prioritize ethical considerations in the design and development of autonomous and intelligent systems. *Why to get involved?* Ethics is the new frontier for the development of products, systems and services in next decades. Considering Ethics during the design of Robotics and Automation Systems is an urgent task. Day by day, new machines and systems are being developed to help and assist humans in a myriad of activities. To guarantee their acceptability and alignment with what stakeholders expect, in terms of benefits and increase of human well-being, it is essential to consider applied ethics in the broadest sense by cross-pollinating expertise from domains that include (but are not limited to) Philosophy, Psychology, Law and Engineering. IEEE P7007 WG aims to create a standard with a set of formal definitions to enable the development of Robotics and Automation Systems in accordance with worldwide Ethics and Moral theories, with a particular emphasis on aligning the ethics and engineering communities to understand how to pragmatically design and implement these systems in unison. Our intention is that the P7007 Standard guide practitioners in multiple scenarios. For instance, it could provide a *software framework* for the development of ethically-driven Robotics and Automation Systems; or be used as a reference *thesaurus* to enable clear and precise communication among members from different communities. *How to get involved* Please send a message to Edson Prestes(3), UFRGS, Brazil ( edson.prestes@ieee.org) *Come join us and be part of this initiative!* To download the* pdf version* access : http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~prestes/P7007/cfp.pdf (1) https://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/7007.html (2) http://standards.ieee.org/develop/indconn/ec/autonomous_systems.html (3) http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~prestes Prof. Dr. Edson Prestes Chair, IEEE SA P7007 Ontological Standard for Ethically Driven Robotics and Automation Systems Working Group Vice-Chair, IEEE RAS Ontologies for Robotics and Automation Working Group Founding Chair, IEEE South Brazil RAS Chapter *IEEE Robotics and Automation Society* Head, Ï•-Robotics Research Group Informatics Institute *Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul * Brazil *group page:* http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/phi-group/ *home page:* http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~prestes -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo em HTML foi limpo...
