WORKSHOP

Mediterranean Open Workshop on RoboCup Research aims at bringing together young researchers within the RoboCup community and outside of it, in order to discuss both whether solutions developed within RoboCup are general enough to be applied in other application domains, and whether RoboCup testbeds are of interest for researchers not directly involved in RoboCup.

 

The participation to the workshop is open to:
- teams participating to the RoboCup Mediterranean Open games
- other researchers involved in RoboCup
- other researchers not involved in RoboCup

 

The workshop will be also attended by students of the Master in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics of Università di Roma, "La Sapienza".
