Introduction
Two different poster competitions will be held during the summer school, one in Computational Intelligence and another in Robotics. Applicants to the competitions must be graduate or senior undergraduate students who present their own research/thesis work on Computational Intelligence or Robotics.
Posters to be presented will be selected based on an extended abstract, written in English. The student must be the first author and must present the poster orally in English to the jury.
