Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems

September 1st - 3rd, 2008
School of Informatics
University of Edinburgh
UK



TAROS-08 is a platform for robotics researchers with a wide range of
interests from the U.K., Europe and worldwide. TAROS welcomes paper
submissions on a wide range of topics related to the principles and
practice of autonomous robotics, including Artificial Intelligence,
Cognitive Sciences and Engineering methods.

TAROS-08 welcomes submissions from senior researchers and research
students alike, and will specifically provide opportunities for research
students and young research scientists to present their work to the
scientific community.

The deadline for papers is 1st May 2008.

This year there will be a special session on Personal and Service
Robotics and papers are particularly invited in this area.

Submissions of papers are invited in any of the following topics, and in
related areas:
