A collection of pointers to resources on agent-oriented research on
robotics, typically involving robots which are autonomous, goal
directed and interact with othter agents, human or artificial.

ia a "humanoid robot" being built at The Cog Shop, in the
MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab. The motivation behind creating Cog
is the hypothesis that "Humanoid intelligence requires humanoid
interactions with the world.". For more information, see --

- Workshop: Opening Forum on
Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA), IBM
T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown, NY, USA - 24-26 June 1996.
The Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) is an
international organisation with the goal of promoting the industry of
Intelligent Physical Agents (IPA). IPAs are devices intended for the
mass market, capable of executing actions to accomplish goals imparted
by or in collaboration with human beings or other IPAs, with a high
degree of intelligence. The group agreed on the need and timeliness
of FIPA. The purpose of this FIPA Opening Forum is to: refine the
list of basic agent capabilities candidate for FIPA specification;
compile a first list of agent capabilities intended for specification
by end 1997; and establish the first working groups. 5/8/96
