EPIROB2002--EPIROB2002-EPIROB2002-EPIROB2002  Call for Papers


Location: Edinburgh, Scotland (held in conjunction with SAB 2002)

**** Deadline for Submission of Papers: 28 February 2002 ****

This workshop focuses on combining developmental psychology and robotics and
generally on:

(a) the embodiment of the system;
(b) its situatedness in a physical and social environment;
(c) a prolonged epigenetic developmental process through which increasingly
    more complex cognitive structures emerge in the system as a result of
    interactions with the physical and social environment.

Invited Speakers
    Luc Steels (AI Lab, VUB, Brussels; Sony Computer Science Lab, Paris)
    Colwyn Trevarthen (Dept. of Psychology, University of Edinburgh, UK)
    John Weng (Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State U., USA)

Submissions
    Papers not exceeding eight (8) pages should be submitted electronically
    (PDF or Postscript) as attachment files to Yiannis Demiris
    (y.demiris@ic.ac.uk). Further instructions to authors will be posted on
    the workshop home page: http://www.epigenetic-robotics.org

Publication of Papers
    Papers will be published in a proceedings, and archived at CogPrints.
    Authors of selected papers will be offered the opportunity to prepare
    extended versions of their papers for submission to a dedicated issue of
    the journal Adaptive Behavior.
