ABOUT AIxRobotics

 

According to Wikipedia, "Robotics is the interdisciplinary study and practice of the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. Within mechanical engineering, robotics is the design and construction of the physical structures of robots, while in computer science, robotics focuses on robotic automation algorithms. Other disciplines contributing to robotics include electrical, control, software, information, electronic, telecommunication, computer, mechatronic, materials and biomedical engineering. The goal of most robotics is to design machines that can help and assist humans. Many robots are built to do jobs that are hazardous to people, such as finding survivors in unstable ruins, and exploring space, mines and shipwrecks. Others replace people in jobs that are boring, repetitive, or unpleasant, such as cleaning, monitoring, transporting, and assembling. Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue; researching, designing, and building new robots serve various practical purposes."

​

On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with computing technologies that allow machines to see, hear, talk, think, learn, and solve problems. The huge potential of applying AI for problem-solving represents an exciting future in business objectives that can be achieved much more effectively. In addition, business-business, business-customer, and customer-customer may be interconnected in a revolutionary way to stimulate a tremendous amount of interesting activities.

 

With the recent advances of AI, including ChatGPT, we think it is the right time to address the broader impacts of AI on Robotics and vice versa.​ Artificial Intelligence x Robotics (AIxRobotics) is an international forum for academia and industries to exchange visions and ideas in the state of the art and practice, as well as to identify the emerging topics and define the synergy between the research in AI and Robotics in general.

 

TOPICS OF INTEREST​​ include all aspects of Robotics whose solutions may be assisted by AI, such as:​

  • Modeling and abstraction

  • Resource awareness

  • Sensor fusion, integration

The focus of the conference series has been established with the belief that it is important to have a full, top-tier conference that focuses specifically on the combination of robotics and AI research. While research about specific aspects of AI and roboic systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the AI and robotics communities, AIxRobotics aims to cut across the boundary and to provide an avenue for communicating research that addresses both robotics and AI holistically. The mission of the conference is to share research results and solutions and to identify new issues and directions for future research and development.
