Grenoble University Campus, INRIA Rh=F4ne Alpes and University Institute of Technology Grenoble. Grenoble, France.

Web Site:

The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA Rh=F4ne-Alpes), Universit=E9 de Bretagne-Sud (UBS) and the Mexican Network on Robotics and Mechatronics invite you to take part in the 11th Summer School on Image and Robotics (SSIR'11) to be held in Grenoble, France. Located in the southeast of France, Grenoble is one of the main cities of the Rhone-Alpes region and is the prefecture of the Isere department.

SSIR'11 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'11 will be hosted this year by the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA Rh=F4ne-Alpes)

This summer school is the eleventh in the series 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 possible 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, voluntary 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 participation cost for the summer school are

300 euros for students flying from Mexico, 400 euros for students, 500 euros for academics and 800 euros for industrials.

This cost will cover:

-tuition,

-study materials,

-coffee breaks,

-one meal on school days (Monday to Friday).

Students lodging will be provided by the SSIR 2011 organizing committee. A limited amount of rooms have been booked at the university residences "Ouest" and "Berlioz" located on the campus. With a preferential costs of 175 euros for students.

Please note that the maximum Summer School attendance is restricted to
