Today, > and with few exceptions, they are regarded as separate fields, with > separate communities and scientific traditions. Typical graduate > student curricula concentrate on AI or on robotics, but rarely on > both. Students in one area are seldom aware of the concepts, methods, > and achievements in the other one. This separation is often > exacerbated by the barriers among traditional academic disciplines. > > Despite this separation, many now feel that the two fields ought to be > brought together towards the development of fully integrated intelligent > robots. The 4th Lucia School on AI and Robotics provides a concrete > step to fill this educational gap, and to create the next generation of > researchers who will realize integrated intelligent robots. These > researchers should be familiar with the methods in the two fields, and > should be able to work across their traditional boundaries. They should > combine theoretical insights from both areas with practical > understanding of physical robotic systems. > > This School will provide graduate students in AI and in Robotics a > unique training and human experience. Students will be exposed to > technologies at the forefront of research in AI and in Robotics. They will > have the opportunity to discuss their research work with top level > scholars as well as other students, and to extend their networks. > > This School continues the tradition of successful "Lucia" Winter Schools > on AI and Robotics started in 2013 (see http://aass.oru.se/Agora/Lucia). > This fourth edition of the School is special in two respects: it is the > first one taking place in Summer; and it is the first one outside > Sweden. > > Thirty worldwide selected students will attend the School this year, with theoretical and practical > classes taught by thirteen invited distinguished lecturers from academia and industry. > > The detailed program can be found at http://lucia.isr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/program.html. > The ISR community is invited to attend, up to the capacity of the Ea3 room.

Its goal is to propose a novel approach for solving the problem of navigation of fully autonomous vehicles in urban environments. The Chroma group and the PhD student involved in this project will focus on integrating models of human drivers (pedestrian and/or drivers), proxemics (human management of space) and traffic rules to integrate an autonomous vehicle in a flow of cars. -----Environment----- The overall objective of Chroma team is to address fundamental and open issues that lie at the intersection of the emerging research fields called “Human Centered Robotics » and “Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) ». Our goal is to design algorithms and develop models allowing mobile robots to navigate and operate in dynamic and human-populated environments. Chroma is involved in all decision aspects pertaining to (multi)robot navigation tasks, including perception and motion-planning. Our approach for addressing this challenge is to bring together probabilistic methods, planning techniques and multi-agent decision models. This is done in cooperation with other disciplines such as psycho-sociologists for the purpose of taking into account human models. Two main research themes of robotic navigation are addressed : i) Perception and situation awareness in human-populated environment, by focusing on bayesian perception and sensor fusion ii) Scaling-up single and multi-robot motion-planning, by combining uncertainty modeling, decentralized (swarm) models and multi-agent sequential decision making. The Chroma team is also concerned with applications and transfer of the scientific results. We work with industrial and start-up partners. Our main application domains concern autonomous vehicle driving (with Renault and Toyota), aerial robots for surveillance tasks and services robotics. -----How to apply----- The ideal candidate has a strong background in planning, control 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 Keywords : Robotics, Autonomous vehicle, planning, risk analysis, human-robot interaction -------------- próxima parte ---------- Um anexo em HTML foi limpo...
