Cognitive Robotics Research Methods Workshop Plymouth (UK), 9-11 March 2010
The first training event of the RobotDoC Collegium was held in Plymouth, on March 9-11 2010. This training session provided Fellows with a series of lectures and tutorials on research methods used in cognitive developmental robotics. The workshop syllabus included courses on specific robotics research methods, as well as general research methods such as ethics in experimental research, literature review, experimental design and English for academic writing. The workshop also focussed on the initial training on the robotics platform iCub, and machine learning techniques. This meeting also provided an opportunity for all RobotDoc Fellows to meet the Supervisory Body members and all the Collegium staff, as well the new RobotDoc associate Fellows. The programme of the workshop is available here.
Thanks to the support of the EUCogII (eucognition.org) network, six Travel Bursaries were offered to PhD students external to the RobotDoc Collegium. For this we acknowledge the support of the EUCogII action network.
