National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE)
Mexico
Web Site: http://www.image-and-robotics.org/ssir2009
The Mexican National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and
Electronics (INAOE), the French National Institut for Research
in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), The French Mexican
Laboratory
in Computer Science & Automatics (LAFMIA) and the European-Mexican
Informatics Laboratory (LAEMI) invite you to take part in the
10th Summer School on Image and Robotics (SSIR 09) to be held
in Santa Maria Tonantzintla, in the state of Puebla, Mexico.
Santa Maria Tonantzintla is located close to Mexico City (130 Km) and
very close to Puebla City (15 Km) capital of the state of the same
name.
SSIR 09 will be a 2 week-long residential summer school. The courses
on this school are primarily aimed at last-year engineering, master
and PhD students on image and robotics related programs abroad.
SSIR 09 will be hosted this year by the National Institute for
Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE) Mexico.
This summer school is the tenth in the serie organized in the
framework of the very active cooperation between French and Mexican
researchers and institutions developing computer science.
The courses include general and fundamental knowledge for robot
control and perception system design. This includes scene
identification and modeling, robot localization, pattern recognition,
path planning and execution and robot physical interactions. The
formation will be articulated along four principal subjects:
Perception: image processing and computer vision.
Algorithmics: motion generation, execution and control.
Mobile robotics.
Learning and Bayesian methods.
No prior high knowledge of robotics nor computer vision will be
required. Participants will attend to general lectures and talks on
more specialized research areas, making it possibly to concretely
cover both research and practical subjects. Workshop sessions has been
introduced in the program to allow a higher degree of interaction
between students and instructors. In workshops, students are invited
to present the projects they are working on or they have already
participated. Please check details for workshop proposal in the Summer
School Web site.
The cost of participation in the summer school is $4000 MXN for
students, $8000 MXN for academics and $10 000 MXN for
industrials. This cost will cover:
- tuition,
- study materials,
- tourist visit and
- one meal on school days.
Lodging will be possible at INAOE and in hotels close to the School
with a preferencial costs of $4550 MXN.
Please note that the maximum Summer School attendance is restricted to
60
participants. Selection of participants will be carried out by a
Scientific committee.
A limited number of scholarships will be granted to students.
The application form can be found on the Summer
School web site.
