[ I am not on robotics@ so not sure if this will go through ] Scratching my own itch - spec at http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/nbc/ I see jspaleta was meaning to package this. Feel free to take it for Fedora if it's any good. cheers, m -- martin(a)laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff

New packages

Hi all. I have filed four new review request, three directly related to robotics and maybe you're interested. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674006 (openni) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674007 (openni-primesense) OpenNI is the framework by primesense that is used for the Kinect camera. The body tracking is closed source, unfortunately, but the basic framework and camera driver are open source and hopefully available as a Fedora package soon. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674008 (openrave) OpenRAVE is an environment for arm motion planning, manipulation, and simulation. It is used pretty frequently these days and I got to use it during my time at CMU. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674009 (bitten) That's not directly robot related. It is a continuous integration plugin for Trac, where build slaves build software after new checkins to a source code repository (usually on different architectures and operating systems). We use it for Fawkes at http://trac.fawkesrobotics.org/build and it really helps, for example keeping an eye on a platform not used every day (FreeBSD) or be aware of upcoming compiler itches we need to scratch (by having a rawhide build host). If you have some time please consider reviewing a package, thanks!

Call for Papers RoboCup 2011 Symposium, Deadline Extension
by Thomas Röfer 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

[apologies for multiple postings, please note the extended deadlines] ******************************************************************** Call for Papers RoboCup International Symposium 2011 Istanbul, Turkey July 5-11, 2011 http://www.robocup2011.org/ ******************************************************************** OVERVIEW The 15th annual RoboCup International Symposium will be held in conjunction with RoboCup 2011. The Symposium represents the core meeting for presentation and discussion of scientific contributions to a variety of research areas related to all RoboCup divisions (RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, and RoboCupJunior). Its scope encompasses, but is not restricted to, research and educational activities within the fields of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the symposium offers a unique venue for exploring various and intimate connections of theory and practice across a wide spectrum of research fields. The experimental, interactive, and benchmark character of the RoboCup initiative presents the opportunity to disseminate novel ideas and promising technologies, which are rapidly adopted and field-tested by a large (and still growing) community. SUBMISSION We solicit submissions of papers reporting on high-quality, original research with relevance to the areas mentioned below. All researchers working in these areas, even if not actively participating in RoboCup teams, are urged to submit their work. Both papers describing real-world research and papers reporting theoretical results, as well as combinations thereof, are welcome. We also encourage the submission of high-quality overview articles for any field related to the general scope of RoboCup. The proceedings of the RoboCup International Symposium are published and archived within the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. Submitted papers are limited to 12 pages formatted according to the LNAI requirements and must be electronically submitted through the symposium web site. All contributions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers using a blind review process. IMPORTANT DATES * Submission of full papers: Feb 27, 2011 (hard deadline, GMT - 10) * Notification to authors: Apr 10, 2011 * Submission of camera-ready copies: May 8, 2011 * RoboCup 2011 Symposium: July 11, 2011 SYMPOSIUM CO-CHAIRS * Thomas Röfer, DFKI Bremen, Germany * Uluç Saranlı, Bilkent University, Turkey * Michael Mayer, Nat'l Chung Cheng University, Taiwan * Jesus Savage, UNAM, Mexico AREAS OF INTEREST * Robot Hardware and Software - mobile and humanoid robots - sensors and actuators - embedded and mobile devices - robot construction and new materials - robotic system integration - robot software architectures - robot programming environments and languages - real-time and concurrent programming - robot simulators * Perception and Action - distributed sensor integration - sensor noise filtering - real-time image processing and pattern recognition - motion and sensor models - sensory-motor control - robot kinematics and dynamics - high-dimensional motion control * Robotic Cognition and Learning - world modeling - localization, navigation, and mapping - planning and reasoning - decision making under uncertainty - reinforcement learning - complex motor skill acquisition - motion and sensor model learning * Multi-Robot Systems - team coordination methods - communication protocols - learning and adaptive systems - teamwork and heterogeneous agents - dynamic resource allocation - adjustable autonomy * Human-Robot Interaction - human-robot interfaces - speech synthesis and natural language generation - visualization * Education and Edutainment - Robotics and Artificial Intelligence education - educational robotics - robot kits and programming tools - robotic entertainment * Applications - disaster rescue information systems - search and rescue robots - robotic surveillance - service and social robots - robots at home ********************************************************************

Hi Fedora robotics people. Our Robotics Suite feature has been accepted. Thanks to everybody, in particular to Rich and Hedayat. I will setup the Fawkes demo repository tomorrow to start the demo. We should have a meeting again and discuss the next steps. What about next Tuesday, Jan 18 at 14:00 UTC? Rich, do you know the process of getting the comps group to start tagging packages for the group? Can someone contact the arts group for icons and other artwork that is required? I'll focus on the demo then.
