> September 4: The Triumph of Light!

> ISR/IST-Lisbon, Portugal
> September 4-8, 2017

> ======================================================================
> 
> The fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics were strongly
> connected in the early days of AI, but have since diverged. 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. However,
> lunches and coffee breaks will only be available to selected participants.
