At the first UK Robot Ethics workshop on 25th March 2013, Alan Winfield offered - for discussion - the proposition that robotics is facing a Crisis of Expectations. And not for the first time. He argues that one possible consequence is (another) AI winter.

It will take place on 8th (only for schools) and 9th (public exhibition with approx. 4'000 visitors) March 2013 in Zurich, Switzerland. Over 40 robots from all over the world such as AFFETTO, iCub, Armar, PR-2 and Cornell Ranger will be presented to the broad audience. World-class speakers such as Rodney Brooks will be attending and as an additional highlight, the AI Lab will unveil its new robot Roboy.

SAB2010 - Simulation of Adaptive Behavior: From Animals to Animats 11, 24 - 28.08.2010
SAB2010 - the eleventh SAB conference - will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding one that has been held in Paris in 1990. SAB conferences afford a new approach to cognitive science, complementary to traditional AI - the "animat approach". They are held every two years in Europe, USA and Japan.
To be held in Paris, France on 24th -- 28th August 2010
Stressing the necessity of integrating both the body and the control in the quest for understanding intelligence in natural or artificial systems, they are interested explicitly in the interactions between an animat - be it a simulated animal or a real robot - and its environment, and they particularly focus on the animat's aptitude to survive in unexpected environmental circumstances.
Centered around the study of behavior rooted in the real and the robust, SAB research aims at avoiding the pitfalls of standard AI approaches and at improving our knowledge in those domains where this latter has failed notoriously, notably while addressing problems of perception, of categorization, and of sensorymotor control.
