| Objectives |
|
Following the success of the IROS 2003 Workshop on Robot Programming by Demonstration and the interest gathered by the consecutive special issue of the Robotics & Autonomous journal, it has become clear that Robot Programming by Demonstration (RbD) is by now an important topic of robotics research, that bridges across many disciplines, including Cognitive Sciences, Computer Sciences, and traditional Engineering (Control Theory and Automation). There is a need to regularly report on progresses in the field and to discuss upcoming issues. This workshop aims at gathering key researchers in the field, in order to address a number of core issues of RbD. These include: - What should the robot imitate, i.e. which features of the task should be reproduced? - How should the robot imitate, i.e. what are the mechanisms for solving the correspondence problem? - What are the social mechanisms at the basis of imitation learning in humans? - How do these mechanisms impact imitation learning and, in general, human-robot interaction? -
What are the benefits of implementing such social capabilities as part of
human-robot interactions? |
| Call for Papers |
We solicit short papers (long abstracts) relevant to the general workshop theme. Papers should not exceed
4 pages, single column, A4, 10pt.Relevant workshop topics include (non-exhaustive list):
- Programming by Demonstration
- Imitation learning
- Task and Skill Learning
- Human-Machine Social Interactions
- Visuo-motor Integration
- Gesture recognition and Reproduction
