OBJECTIVES

The 1st International Conference on Entertainment Robotics (ICER) is to be held at the Hotel Ramada (Tentatively) in Incheon, Korea, August 16 ? 18, 2009, under the FIRA RoboWorld Congress 2009. It is aiming to bring together the international community of researchers and practitioners to discuss and review the latest advancements and future directions in the area of entertainment robotics - thereby including all scientific activities in the fields of MiroSot, SimuroSot and RoboSot or similar systems.

The conference will review and discuss major advances in science and technology regarding entertainment robotics. Hence, the conference welcomes original, peer reviewed papers and contributions describing innovations and advances in entertainment robotic from researchers, practitioners and students. Particular emphasis will be given to new applications and developments in the area of building autonomous robots and real-world robot soccer systems including - but not limited to - modeling, control, decision making, and integration.
