WAFR 2004: Call for Participation

[Frank van der Stappen]

Call for Participation



WAFR 2004
Sixth International Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics
July 11-13, 2004
Hotel Figi
Utrecht/Zeist, The Netherlands



Robot algorithms are abstractions of computational processes that control
or reason about motion and perception in the physical world. Because
actions in the physical world are subject to physical laws and geometric
constraints, the design and analysis of robot algorithms raises a unique
combination of questions in control theory, computational and differential
geometry, and computer science. Algorithms serve as a unifying theme in the
multi-disciplinary field of robotics. The Sixth Workshop on the Algorithmic
Foundations of Robotics is a single-track meeting highlighting recent trends
and important future directions of research on the algorithmic issues
related to robotics and automation.
