Topic:

The URBI workshop is the first gathering of URBI early users among universities and private or public research labs. This workshop will start with a detailed presentation of URBI by its creator, followed by several research talks describing recent programs or results obtained on robotic platforms using URBI. The emphasis will be on the quality of the scientific production and how URBI helped in achieving results faster, more deeply or by suggesting new way of implementing ideas. The workshop will open its doors to a small number of Aibo enthousiasts selected for the originality and quality of a submitted URBI program.
