The fields of Computational Intelligence and Robotics were strongly connected in the early days of AI, but have since diverged. Typical student curricula concentrate on AI or on robotics, but rarely on both. Students in one area are seldomly aware of the concepts, methods, and achievements in the other one. This Summer School aims at filling this educational gap, by forming the next generation of researchers that will realize integrated intelligent robots. Students will be exposed to technologies at the forefront of research in AI and in Robotics. Despite this separation, many now feel that the two fields ought to be brought together towards the development of fully integrated intelligent robots. The School on AI and Robotics provides a concrete step to fill this educational gap, and to create the next generation of researchers who will realize integrated intelligent robots. These researchers should be familiar with the methods in the two fields, and should be able to work across their traditional boundaries. They should combine theoretical insights from both areas with practical understanding of physical robotic systems. This School will provide graduate students in AI and in Robotics a unique training and human experience. Students will be exposed to technologies at the forefront of research in AI and in Robotics. They will have the opportunity to discuss their research work with top level scholars as well as other students, and to extend their networks.
