IROBOT'2015 7th International Thematic Track on Intelligent Robotics To be held at EPIA 2015, September 8-11, 2015, Coimbra, Portugal http://epia2015.dei.uc.pt/ The EPIA Conferences are the major International event on Artificial Intelligence organized in Portugal, under the auspices of APPIA - Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (http://www.appia.pt). Its purpose is to discuss and promote research in all areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related disciplines. Aspects covered range from theoretical and foundational issues to relevant application domains for researchers, engineers and practitioners in AI. The conference is structured as a set of Thematic Tracks. ## Important Dates 9 Mar-2015: Paper Submission Deadline 27 Apr-2015: Author Notification/Registration Open 1 Jun-2015: Deadline for Final Camera-Ready 8-11 Oct-2015: EPIA'2015 Conference ## IROBOT Description IROBOT'2015 poses itself as a follow-up on the previous 6 International Thematic Tracks/Workshops on Intelligent Robotics held at EPIA since 2005. As in previous editions, its main purpose is to bring together researchers, engineers and other professionals interested in the application of AI techniques in real/simulated robotics to discuss current work and future directions. Each edition tries to promote a focal debate theme. Robotics, from the point of view of AI, has been an important application field, from which AI has also gained. Namely the dynamic and unforeseen nature of the environment, especially for mobile robots, has fostered research in these aspects of AI. Together with the developments in Robotics Research, the use of Robotics in industry and services has changed a lot in recent years. New paradigms and approaches for industrial robots and service robots have emerged for example on mobile robots localization and navigation in unstructured environments. IROBOT 2015 will discuss these new developments on industrial and service robotics. ## Topics of Interest The Thematic Track will be structured around the following themes: - Adaptive and flexible industrial robotics - AI Planning for robotics - Autonomous vehicles - Cognitive robotics - Computer vision and object recognition - Coordination in robotics - Evolutionary robotics and reactive intelligence - Human-robots interaction - Humanoid robotics - Intelligent buildings and warehouses - Intelligent transportation systems - Learning and adaptation in robotics - Mobile robots localization and navigation - Modelling and simulating complex robots - Multi-Robot systems - Field Robots - Real-time reactivity - Robot behaviour engineering - Robotic surveillance - Sensor fusion This topics' list is not exhaustive. Papers may address one or more of the topics, and authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in the thematic track main subject. ## Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit original research contributions or experience reports in English. Scientific or technical articles describing state-of-the-art techniques, algorithms, systems, environments, problems or applications relevant to the area of Intelligent Robotics may be submitted. Papers discussing application transfer from simulated to real robots and papers showing socially useful robotic applications generated by participations in robotic competitions are also welcome. Although the main focus is on industrial and service robots, there will be space for reporting research in AI applied to other types of robots. Submissions must follow the guidelines specified in the EPIA'2015 site. The Springer LNCS format must be used (instructions in http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html/). The length of submitted full papers must not exceed 12 pages. Authors must remove their names from the submitted papers, and should take reasonable care not to indirectly disclose their identity. Paper submissions will be made in PDF format, through the submission page https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2015 Three program committee members will be assigned to review each paper using a double blind review process. Acceptance will be based on the paper's significance, technical quality, clarity, relevance and originality. ## Paper Publication All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of the LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series (indexed by the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge). The number of pages of the accepted contributions has the following limits: Full Regular Papers: Contributions accepted as full papers should contain from 10 to 12 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions. Extraordinarily, other two additional pages could be considered with a supplementary fee. Short Papers: Contributions accepted as short papers should contain from 4 to 6 pages in its final version, according to the LNAI series formatting instructions. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and all accepted papers must be presented orally in the conference by one of the authors who registered for the conference. ## Thematic Track Organizing Committee Luis Paulo Reis - lpreis@dsi.uminho.pt Dept. of Information Systems, University of Minho and LIACC, Guimarães, Portugal Nuno Lau - nunolau@ua.pt Dept. of Electronics Telecomm. and Informatics and IEETA, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal Brígida Mónica Faria - btf@estsp.ipp.pt Polytechnic Institute of Porto - ESTSP and LIACC, Porto, Portugal Rui P.
