A Platform for the Robotics Community in the UK, Europe and Worldwide

TAROS is a platform for robot researchers with a wide range of interests from the U.K., Europe and worldwide. TAROS welcomes paper submissions on a wide range of topics related to the principles and practice of robotics. A list of exemplar topics can be found here. The submissions procedure may be found here.

TAROS welcomes submissions from senior researchers and research students alike, and specifically provides opportunities for research students and young research scientists to present their work to the scientific community. The schedule for TAROS-06 will be announced nearer the conference.

About TAROS 2005

TAROS-05 was held in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College, London, 12^th-14^th September 2005 in South Kensington, near to the Science, Natural History and Victoria & Albert Museums and many other attractions, all with excellent public transport links.

Refereed papers from the conference are published in a proceedings volume (ISBN 0-905247-03-5), and are available on the WWW. Copies of the printed proceedings may still be obtained from the organiser. The December 2005 issue (Vol. 2, No. 4) of the Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems features extended papers selected  from those published in the proceedings.

The Springer Best Paper Award was presented to Rachel Gartshore and Phil Palmer for their paper "Exploration of an Unknown 2D Environment using a View Improvement Strategy". 

Rachel Gartshore is presented the Springer Best Paper Award by Dr. Ulrich Nehmzow,
Chair of the TAROS-05 Programme Committee

TAROS-05 incorporates papers from the Biro-Net symposium as an integrated session. Biro-Net has sponsored several bursaries for authors of papers accepted to TAROS-05 with content relevant to the biological or materials sciences. The keynote speakers at TAROS-05 were Prof. Dario Floreano (EPFL) and Prof. Dr. Klaus Schilling (University of Würzburg).

TAROS-05 was sponsored by Biro-Net and Springer, London, with funding support from EPSRC. TAROS-05 also thanks the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Imperial College London and the Intelligent Systems and Networks group within that department for their generous support and assistance.
