Abstract
Research in robotics has traditionally emphasized low-level sensing and control tasks, path planning and actuator design and control. In contrast, generally using robotic simulators, several Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers are more concerned with providing real/simulated robots with higher-level cognitive functions that enable them to reason, act and perceive in an autonomous way in dynamic, inaccessible, continuous and non deterministic environments. Combining results from traditional robotics with those from AI and cognitive science will be thus essential for the future of intelligent robotics.
The purpose of the 1st International Workshop on Intelligent Robotics IROBOT’ 05 was to bring together researchers, engineers and other professionals interested in the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in real/simulated robotics to discuss current work and future directions.
