... In this paper, I emphasize the importance of perceptual and motor immaturity in leading to further- and better-organized cognitive development. Alex Morison, Ohio State University Title: Expanding human perception and attention to new spatial-temporal scales through networks of sensor systems Abstract: Ubiquitous sensing capabilities create the potential to expand human reach to new spatial-temporal scales, but to date the potential is unrealized.

... However, although robot assisted MIS represents significant improvements over traditional MIS, it does not provide the surgeon with a sense of touch from the operating interface. Many robotic surgical applications require active interactions with complex dy namic environments such as soft tissue.

... We take table tennis playing as an entry point to explore related technologies, because both intelligent interaction and dynamic response, which are fundamental factors for future service robots, are required but challenging issues in such a task. We have proposed algorithms for fast visual recognition and accurate trajectory prediction of a Ping-Pong ball and coordinative motion planning and balance maintenance of the humanoid robot, and we have developed a real-time field bus to meet the requirements for quick response.

... Our tests show a clear advantage for learning-enabled RADAR over all other test conditions. Satoshi Tadokoro, Tohoku University Title: The disaster response robot named "Quince" and lessons at the Fukushi ma-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident Abstract: The accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant, caused by the tsunami on March 11, 2011, resulted in a meltdown of nuclear fuel and in the hydrogen explosion of nuclear reactor buildings.

... In this presentation, I will discuss my lab's research on the best practices for controlling both individual robots and groups of robots, in applications ranging from assistive technology to telepresence to search and rescue. A number of methods for this type of humanrobot interaction (HRI)
