Subject: CIM25 Seminars - The Future of Robotics


Dear Madame/Sir

CIM25 program committee has decided to have a year-long seminar series on the topic "Brain, Body and Machine," where we intend to host six public lectures, each by a prominent international academic. This week  Prof. Wolfram Burgard will give a lecture on the future of robotics.

CIM 25th Anniversary Seminars on Brain, Body & Machine

Centre for Intelligent Machines

Time: Friday, April 9, 2010, 11:30 - 12:30
Place: McDonald Engineering Bldg., Room MD 280,
                       The Future of Robotics:
       An Artificial Intelligence Perspective
     Prof. Wolfram Burgard
                     Department of Computer Science
                              University of Freiburg
                                 Freiburg, Germany
Over the past years, the robotics community has steadily grown; an impressive number of systems, techniques, and applications have been developed. In this presentation, the broad vision of robotics will be first introduced, then, the principles and basis of several problems and example solutions in the development of autonomous robots will be given. Potential innovations that can be expected in the near future in this area will also be outlined. Several aspects of outstanding problems which make the development of truly autonomous robots challenging will be discussed, and key technologies that can have significant influence on the field of robotics will be highlighted.
