“Robotstadium” is an on-line simulated Nao RoboCup competition based on the new Nao RoboCup Standard League. This official RoboCup competition will take place on the Internet from April 15th, 2008 to June 30th, 2008 and the finals will be held in Suzhou, China during the RoboCup event on July 2008. The competition relies on a Webots-based realistic simulation. The competitors will have to program a team of 4 Nao robots using the URBI middleware and the Java programming language. This contest is open to anyone and free of charge. The winning team will receive a real Nao robot and a software package including Webots PRO and URBI for Webots.Registration is open from today April 8th, 2008, till June 30th, 2008 on www.robotstadium.org.

There’s an open Postdoctoral Fellowship in Robotics software, tools, systems and evaluation at the Robotics Laboratory, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.The description sais “The Robotics Laboratory’s long term goal is to produce intelligent robotic assistants for humans. Currently our work focuses in three areas. Human robot interaction is a key area for robot assistants. Robot programming systems are also important because humans often need to resort to programming robots for new tasks. Thirdly we focus on two application areas, agriculture and healthcare, where we can explore our ideas in human robot interaction and robot programming systems. More details are available at: http://robotics.ece.auckland.ac.nz.”

The ProMAS workshop series aims to address the theoretical and practical programming issues related to developing and deploying multi-agent systems. In particular, ProMAS aims to address how multi-agent systems designs or specifications can be effectively implemented. The main areas of interest of the ProMAS workshop concern the development and programming of Multi-Agent Systems, ranging from tools, (new) agent and organizational programming concepts to semantics and formal verification. Paper submission deadline: February 1st, Workshop date 12th/13th May on AAMAS 2008. For details, see the ProMAS 2008 webpage.
