Enabling Intelligence through Middleware: Report of the AAAI 2010 Workshop

For example, baby boomers are aging. Researchers are actively pursuing interdisciplinary research that enables robots to function autnomously within arbitrary environments alongside people. The goal of the AAAI 2010 Workshop on Enabling Intelligence through Middleware was to examine both the successes and opportunities to provide tools that enable a larger pool of researchers to experiment with embodied, intelligent algorithms. The half-day workshop, attended by over 80 people, was held as part of the Twenty-Fourth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Atlanta Georgia on July 12, 2010. The workshop consisted of two parts: (1) invited talks and (2) middleware presentations.
