Robotics Activities at Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) 2016

在过去的几年里，人工智能和机器人社区已经开始意识到，相对便宜但复杂的机器人硬件的扩散，以及用于执行低级控制和感知的强大可靠的机器人技术的发展。这些发展创造了对综合人工智能和机器人研究的需求，以实现当今机器人的潜力。该项目旨在通过将于2016年2月12日至17日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的AAAI-16会议上的一系列活动，促进这些研究领域之间的交叉受精。该项目将包括AAAI-16会议上的以下活动：(1)对集成人工智能和机器人研究感兴趣的博士生参与，(2)研究人员展示机器人研究中当前的问题和解决方案，(3)年轻研究人员的“聚光灯”展示机器人领域新的和令人兴奋的研究，(4)机器人展览，以及(5)开放日，向公众开放。

Over the last few years, the AI and Robotics communities have begun to realize that the proliferation of relatively cheap but sophisticated robot hardware, and the development of robust and reliable robotics techniques for performing low-level control and perception. These developments have created a demand for integrative AI and robotics research to fulfill the potential of today's robots. The project aims at fostering cross-fertilization between these research fields through a series of activities at the AAAI-16 conference that will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from February 12th to 17th, 2016.The project will include the following activities at the AAAI-16 conference: (1) participation of PhD students interested in integrative AI and Robotics research, (2) presentations by researchers showcasing current problems and solutions in robotics research, (3) a "spotlight" presentation by a young researcher showcasing new and exciting research in the field of robotics, (4) a robotics exhibition, and (5) an open house day, open for the general public.
