Italian Workshop on
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
AIRO 2014

Pisa, Italy
Workshop of the XIII AI*IA Symposium on Artificial Intelligence
http://aiia2014.di.unipi.it
Robotics is expected to bring about the next technological revolution and therefore represents a big opportunity to generate an impact for the research in Artificial Intelligence. As a consequence, there is a renewed interest in addressing various aspects of robot design using AI techniques. These efforts create new scientific challenges, because the implementation of robotic systems is not simply a matter of engineering existing solutions; the AI components can no longer be addressed in isolation and tested on well-known benchmarks, but they need to be proven robust and effective within complex integrated systems. At the same time, Researchers in Robotics can contribute to the research in AI not only by better focussing on the fundamental problems that are of interest for robotic applications, but also to improve, integrate and compare to existing techniques.
In this workshop we aim at bringing together researchers in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics that can present contributions to the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. We do not restrict to a specific set of topics, and we welcome not only the presentation of implemented solutions, but also of ideas, case studies and research challenges.

9:00-9:15 Welcome |
9:15-10:00 Invited talk
Salvatore M. Anzalone received his B.S. in Computer Engineering (2004) and M.S.Degree in Intelligent Systems (2006) from the University of Palermo. From the same University he received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering (2010), supervised by Prof. A. Chella and Prof. R. Sorbello. He collaborated with Prof. H. Ishiguro at the Osaka University during one year of his Ph.D. (2009) and during his post-doc year at University of Padova (2010), supervised by Prof. E. Pagello and Prof. E. Menegatti. He received a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and from April 2011 to April 2012 he was a research fellow at the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory directed by Prof. H. Ishiguro at Osaka University (2011-2012). Since May 2012 he is a Post-Doc researcher at University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France, working with Prof. M. Chetouani at the Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR-UPMC). In November 2013 he visited again the laboratory of Prof. H. Ishiguro at the Osaka University thanks to a grant received by the Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. His research focuses on Personal Robots, in particular on the modeling of human identities and their behaviours, to give the robots the ability of interacting with people in a more strict, customized and reliable way. Last experiences at ISIR-UPMC in Paris involve the use of personal robots for autistic children in the FP7 European Project Michelangelo.
