Competition Organizing Commitee: Takanori Shibata (Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, MITI) Koji Takeda (Fuji Xerox) Jun Tani (Sony CSL) Toru Yamaguchi (Utsunomiya Univ.) "FUZZ-IEEE/IFES '95" is the joint international conference of the Second International Fuzzy Engineering Symposium and the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems. At this conference, a "Fuzzy Robot Competition" is planned in which participants compete using fuzzy technology and fuzzy information processing. Participants will not present the actual robot, rather they will compete by recording on video the robot they have constructed. This is a call for participants to take up this challenge. How to Apply for Competition Evaluations of Competition: The evaluations are based on two categories:"Motion" and "Intelligence" Requirments of Competition: (1) The contents of the video tape must be previously undisclosed (2) Relevant technologies are fuzzy or neural networks, chaos, and genetic algorithms, for such applications as flying robots, game robots, sumo-wrestling robots, empty -can-collecting robots, and apple-peeling robots. They can be mobile or fixed so long as they move autonomously through computer control. (3) Competition participants set and indicate their own conditions, and record the performance on video tape. At the same time, a paper must be written describing the hardware and the system architecture. However, an explanation of theory must not be included in the video tape, but written in the paper. What to Submit: Two video tapes (the master tape and one copy, 3-5 minutes, VHS) recording the performance of the fuzzy robot However, they must be of good recording quality. A paper written in English detailing the robot, of approximately 4 pages(A4 or letter-paper size) Publication of a Video Proceedings: Selected robots that have been accepted will be compiled into a video proceedings. Publication of Competition Papers: The papers which have been accepted will be published. Award: There will be a strict examination of the works that have been accepted, and certificates awarded to excellent robots. Supplementary prizes will be awarded as well (one million yen in total.) Transfer of Copyright: The copyright of the papers and video tapes accepted in this competition will be transferred to the IEEE FUZZ/IFES '95. Deadline of Submission: End of November 1994 Notice of Acceptance: End of January 1995 Papers and Videos should be submitted to: LIFE (Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering Research) Siber Hegner Bilding 4FL. 89-1 Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama 231, Japan attention: Satoko Miura, Secretary TEL: +81-45-212-8228 FAX: +81-45-212-8255 For furthr information, contact Prof. Hisao Shiizuka, Competition Organizing Committee Chair, via E-mail:shiizuka@sin.cc.kogakuin.ac.jp ------------------------------------------------- Prof. Mikio Nakatsuyama Department of Electronic Engineering Yamagata University 4-3-16 Jonan, Yonezawa 992 Japan Tel: +81-238-22-5181 EXT 329 Fax: +81-238-24-2752 E-mail: nakatsu@ea5.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp
