 EPIROB2003--EPIROB2003-EPIROB2003-EPIROB2003  Call for Papers


 Location: Boston University, Boston, MA, USA
    (held after the Cognitive Science Society meeting)

 **** Extended Deadline for Submission of Papers & Poster Abstracts: 31 March 2003 ****

 This workshop focuses on combining developmental psychology and robotics
and generally on:

 (a) the embodiment of the system;
 (b) its situatedness in a physical and social environment;
 (c) a prolonged developmental process through which varied and complex
     cognitive and perceptual structures emerge as a result of an embodied
     system interacting with a physical and social environment.

 Invited Speakers
     Gyorgy Gergely (Institute for Psychological Research, Hungarian
          Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary)
     Rod Grupen (Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics, University of
         Massachusetts Amherst, MA, USA)
     Deb Roy (Media Lab, MIT, USA)

     (PDF or Postscript) as attachment files to Luc Berthouze
     (Luc.Berthouze@aist.go.jp). Extended abstracts (maximum two pages) can
