Power-On-And-Go (POGO) Workshop
Important Information
- Date: Monday, July 13
- Time: 08:00 (AM) PDT - 13:30 PDT
- Contact: jkelly [at] utias.utoronto.ca
- Organizers: Stephan Weiss, Paolo Robuffo Giordano, Jonathan Kelly, Valentin Peretroukhin
- Full Website: power-on-and-go.net
This special issue aims to present state-of-the-art research related to power-on-and-go robots: robotic systems that are able to quickly deal with new situations and to adapt immediately to new environments, or to changes in their own operating parameters, with limited input data. The ability to operate correctly from the time the switch is flipped may mean the difference between successful task completion and catastrophic failure.
