The SoRAIM multi-disciplinary winter school combines topics in social robotics, artificial intelligence, and multimedia. Several top-level invited speakers will introduce and discuss all relevant areas for building socially aware robots that communicate and interact with humans in a shared space. Lectures will cover the following topics:
- Speech source localization and separation
- Mapping and visual self-localization
- Social-aware robot navigation
- Tracking and analysis of human behavior
- Dialog management, natural language understanding, and generation
- Robotic middle-ware and software integration
- Ethics and Experimental Design
SoRAIM aims to foster discussion between experts in these fields and to expose young researchers and engineers to highly qualified scientists and experts. SoRAIM is organized by the European H2020 SPRING project, which investigates social robotics for multiparty interactions in gerontological healthcare. It will provide the opportunity to interact and discuss with several members of the project, to present your own research in the form of a poster, and to participate in wider topic discussions with your peers.
