Architectural Robotics : Intelligent and Adaptable Built Environments

Robotics embedded in our built environment will increasingly support and augment everyday work, school, entertainment, and leisure activities. Archibots, a full-day workshop at Ubicomp , aims to identify opportunities and challenges in research and education in the emerging area of "Architectural Robotics" - intelligent and adaptable phys ical environments at all scales. For Archibots 2009, we seek position papers representing diverse perspectives from the extended ubicomp community exploring possibilities and defining an agenda for Architectura l Robotics for the year 2019 and beyond. Workshop participants will discuss these perspectives and then, in teams, sketch short videos to envision possible futures. The collected videos of the workshop are intended to st ream to the Video Program. The organizers plan to publis h selected position papers as an edited book or special issue of a journal, and further relations with industry and allied disciplines.
