CIRA 2009 - 2009 IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation - (CIRA 2009)

The 8th IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation (CIRA2009) provides an opportunity for prominent researchers, engineers and practitioners to present the latest research results, innovations, and potential future directions in computational intelligence in robotics and automation.


Ubiquitous computing has motivated a paradigm shift in robotics, which has commenced the new multidisciplinary research areas such as ubiquitous robotics and genetic robotics, initiating the next generation of robotics, following the first generation of industrial robotics and the second generation of personal robotics. Special emphasis will be placed on the usage of computational intelligence technologies to realize cognitive intelligence, social intelligence, behavioral intelligence, ambient intelligence and genetic intelligence for the next generation robots and also to implement intelligent knowledge service systems, medical systems, health care systems, manufacturing systems and automation systems. The Symposium covers the following topics, but is not limited to these.

Evolutionary computation
Fuzzy logic
