AAAI-16 Robotics Exhibition

AAAI-16 Robotics Exhibition

The Thirtieth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
February 12–17, 2016, Phoenix, Arizona USA

Call for Participation

Registration Deadline: January 6, 2016

We invite research groups and robotics companies to participate in the AAAI Robotics Exhibition in Phoenix, Arizona from February 12–17, 2016. The exhibition is an opportunity to demonstrate your robot systems to a large audience of artificial intelligence researchers (and beyond).

Exhibitors will be given space from Saturday, February 13, during the AAAI-16 Open House and the second day of the tutorials and workshops, until Tuesday evening, February 16. The exhibition will form part of several robotics-related activities at AAAI-16, including an AI Robotics Fellowship program and an AI Robotics Early Career Spotlight Talk. The Open House will be open to high-school students and other selected members of the general public.

We especially encourage demonstrations of the incredible progress that has been made in robotics in the past five years. Demonstrations, research platforms, educational tools, spin-offs and consumer robots are all welcome, from companies, commercial vendors, and university research laboratories.

Robotics Exhibition participants should contact AAAI (aaai16@aaai.org) for complete information about how to register.

The Robotics Exhibit tables will be grouped together in a high-traffic area of the conference facility. As part of our effort to highlight Robotics in AI, robotic exhibitors are entitled to special benefits, and university teams are eligible for a special discounted exhibit registration. (Additional subsidies might be available for university research laboratories with person-intensive or cost-intensive exhibits.)

Robotics Exhibitor Benefits

AAAI-16 Robotics Exhibitors are entitled to several benefits in addition to their exhibit space:

• A 100-word listing and description in the AAAI-16 / IAAI-16 Program
• Eligibile to have an insert in the AAAI-16 / IAAI-16 Conference bag
• One complimentary full technical registration to the AAAI-16 / IAAI-16 Conference, and two complimentary student technical registrations
• Up to 3 additional exhibit-only registrations for students or others staffing the exhibition table

Robotics Exhibit Fees*

• Commercial Vendors: $1,225 per tabletop
• University Research Laboratories: $300 per tabletop

*Exhibit fees are based on one (1) 6-foot by 30-inch skirted table. All prices are quoted in US dollars.

Please express your interest by sending a message to aaai16@aaai.org no later than December 1. AAAI will contact you regarding registration and payment, as well as your logistical needs.

The AAAI-16 Demonstration Program provides an alternative to the AAAI-16 Robotics Exhibition Program but accepted demonstrations will be allocated only one time slot during one of the main conference days, while the AAAI-16 Robotics Exhibition Program provides exhibit space for four full days with the expectation that the exhibit will be showcased during all main conference days.

Please feel free to contact the robotics cochairs if you have any questions.
