EU project ALMA launched

A new EU project (in which Robotics Lab UC3M is participating) has been recently launched. The aim of the EU-funded ALMA project is to leverage AML properties to develop a new generation of interactive, human-centric machine learning systems. These systems are expected to reduce bias and prevent discrimination, remember what they know when they are taught something new, facilitate trust and reliability and integrate complex ethical constraints into human–artificial intelligence systems. Furthermore, they are expected to promote distributed, collaborative learning.

La financiación de RoboCity2030 ha sido prorrogada por el Programa de Ayudas para la Realización de Programas de Actividades de I+D entre Grupos de Investigacion de la Comunidad de Madrid en Tecnologías y cofinanciado por los Fondos Estructurales de la Unión Europea.El acrónimo del programa es RoboCity2030-DIH-CM y el código es S2018/NMT-4331.

The 21st edition of the International Workshop of Physical Agents (WAF2020) will be held on 19 and 20 November at the University of Alcalá. This is an international forum focusing on research into artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in control applications and interaction with physical agents (mobile robots, vehicles, manipulators, etc.). It is an event sponsored by RoboCity2030.

The conference presents a wide range of research challenges in the fields of software agents, multi-agent systems, human-robot interaction, mobile robots, social robots, cooperating robots, autonomous vehicles, machine and deep learning, perception, location, mapping
