First Call for Papers

The ECSIS Symposium on Learning and Adaptive Behavior in Robotic Systems, LAB-RS 2008, will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland from August 6-8, 2008. The Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. This Symposium is being held in conjunction with the ECSIS Symposium on Bio-inspired Learning and Intelligent Systems for Security (BLISS-2008) to be held in Edinburgh on Aug 4-6, 2008.

Scope: Learning and adaptive behaviors are key to robotics system operation in real world environments. While there have been important developments at the theoretical level and in simulations or laboratory environments, the transfer of these methods onto real-world platforms has been limited.

This symposium will bring together researchers from academia and industry to report on new concepts, laboratory demonstrations, and fielded robotic systems that exhibit learning and adaptive behaviors. The goal of the symposium is to roadmap future directions for development of robotic systems with capabilities comparable to those of biological systems.
