11th International Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics 

(WAFR) 

August 3-5, 2014 

Bogazici University 

Istanbul, Turkey 

http://www.wafr.org/

AIM And SCOPE 

The International Workshop on the Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics 

(WAFR) is a single-track workshop devoted to recent advances on 

algorithmic problems in robotics. The workshop proceedings will be 

published in a hardcover volume in the Springer STAR series, and 

selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of the 

International Journal of Robotics Research. 

Robot algorithms are a fundamental component of robotic systems. These 

algorithms process inputs from sensors that provide noisy and partial 

data, build geometric and physical models of the world, plan high-and 

low-level actions at different time horizons, and execute these 

actions on actuators with limited precision.  The design and analysis 

of robot algorithms raise a unique combination of questions from many 

fields, including control theory, computational geometry and topology, 

geometrical and physical modeling, reasoning under uncertainty, 

probabilistic algorithms, game theory, and theoretical computer 

science. 

TOPICS 

The focus of WAFR is on the design and analysis of robot algorithms 

from both theoretical and practical angles. The topics of interest are 

very broad. We encourage papers on fundamental algorithmic issues, 

such as complexity, completeness, machine learning, probabilistic 

reasoning, and new programming paradigms, to name a few. We also 

encourage papers on applications of robot algorithms to important or 

new domains, such as manufacturing, legged locomotion, distributed 

robotics, human-robot interaction, surgical robots, intelligent 

prosthetics, and brain-controlled robots. Furthermore, robot 

algorithms are being applied in domains beyond the traditional scope 

of robotics, e.g., computational biology, computer animation, sensor 

networks, etc. Papers on these topics are also welcomed. 

WAFR 2014 will place strong emphasis on interactions and 

discussions among participants. 

IMPORTANT DATES 

* Paper submission deadline March 17, 2014 

* Notification of acceptance May 12, 2014 

* WAFR: August 3-5, 2014 

* Final Manuscript September 1, 2014 

We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul! 

WAFR Co-Organizers: 

Levent Akin, Nancy Amato, Volkan Isler and Frank van der Stappen
