ICBR 2013 - The International Conference on Individual and Collective Behaviors in Robotics

The robotics field borrows its knowledge from different disciplines: mathematics and logic (formalization, modeling of behaviors), engineering (development of increasingly complex microprocessors, development of new architectures, new sensors, new communication tools, new control systems, etc.), neurosciences (comprehension of the brain, new methods dealing with computational collective intelligence), biology and Natural Science (living observation, bio-inspiration, stigmergy, etc.), psychology (validation of theories in relation to the memory functioning, language, individual and collective behavior, etc.), linguistics (models of interactive language handling), social Sciences (studies of adaptation to environment and to collective works), philosophy (questions related to the thought character).
The aim of ICBR conference is to bring together researchers in automation and behavioral aspects for robotics; it helps us exchange innovative ideas in designing robots and also in applying computational and collective intelligence, and benefit the progress of each research theory and application.
