Two-day Symposium on AI-Inspired Biology (AIIB)

(Not Biologically Inspired AI -- BIAI !)

There are many ways in which research in AI/Robotics can be and has been inspired by biology. This includes the initial inspiration for AI in its earliest days. That is not the topic of this symposium! There also can be, and has been, inspiration in the reverse direction, which has not been so widely recognised.

The symposium is an opportunity for researchers on both sides of the natural/artificial cognition divide, including biologists studying animal cognition, to acknowledge and evaluate past examples of AI-inspired biology, to report on ongoing projects, and above all to identify opportunities for new ways in which advances in our understanding of natural/biological cognition can be or need to be inspired by concepts, problems, theories and techniques from AI/Robotics, including analysis of requirements for human-like or animal-like robots.

To be held at AISB'10 on the third and fourth days 31st March--1st April 2010

15 March 2010

Toward Autonomous, Adaptive, and Context-Aware Multimodal Interfaces: Theoretical and Practical Issues

The school will afford a change of perspective in verbal and nonverbal communication, where the research focus moves from "communicative tools" to "communicative instances" and ask for investigations that take into account the environment and the context in which the communicative acts take place.

This event will begin on the 15th of March 2010 and end on the 19th of March 2010.

9 March 2010

RobotDoC Robotics Research Methods Workshop

This is the first training event of the Marie Curie ITN "RobotDoC: Robotics for Developmento of Cognition" (in Plymouth UK). This workshop will provide PhD students with a series of lectures and hands-on workshops on Research Methods.

This event will begin on the 9th of March 2010 and end on the 11th of March 2010.

EUCogII - 2nd European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems, Interaction and Robotics

EUCogII is a European network for researchers in artificial cognitive systems and related areas who want to connect to other researchers and reflect on the challenges and aims of the discipline. The network funds meetings, workshops, members’ participation in academic events, faculty exchanges and other activities that further its aims. It continues and builds on the work of the FP6 euCognition network (2006-2008).

EUCogII is funded by the Information and Communication Technologies division of the European Commission, Cognitive Systems and Robotics unit, under the 7th Research Framework Programme. FP7-ICT-EUCogII-231281:

1.908.337 €; Feb. 2009 - Jan. 2012

You are invited to become a member of the network if you are doing research in a relevant area.

EUCogII runs the "EUCogII General News" Google group. This moderated low-volume list will keep you updated on activities of EUCogII, related conferences, projects, calls for papers, etc. If you are a member and wish to post to the group please send an email to . The "EUCogII General News" group is open to anyone interested. If you are not already a member of this group you are welcome to join here →
