Dear colleagues,
I would like to remind that the deadline for sending the applications is April 15. See again below the call for participation. Best regards, Davide Scaramuzza ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On behalf of the Autonomous Systems Lab, I have the pleasure to cordially invite you to the following summer school at ETH Zurich from July 4th through July 8th, 2011: "Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles: Design, Perception, and Control" For more info and applications: http://www.roboticsschool.ethz.ch/sfly-summerschool The school is designed for graduate students of all levels. However, a solid background in engineering will enable you to profit most from the lectures and exercises. In the courses, we seek to take your existing engineering skills and extend them to the most important fundamentals in this thrilling field. We will show you the current state of the art in each area, and expose you to inspiring researchers from all over the world. To this end, the school will feature five full days of tutorials, lectures and hands-on exercises, and several case studies which will be presented by internationally recognized experts in the field. Speakers: • Roland Siegwart, ETH - ASL • Raffaello D’Andrea, ETH - IDSC • Vijay Kumar, U-PENN • Nathan Michael, U-PENN • Marc Pollefeys, ETH - CVG • Davide Scaramuzza, ETH - ASL • Samir Bouabdallah, ETH - ASL • Stefan Leutenegger, ETH - ASL • Margarita Chli, ETH - ASL • Friedrich Fraundorfer, ETH - CVG • Sergei Lupashin, ETH - IDSC • Angela Schöllig, ETH - IDSC • Markus Hehn, ETH - IDSC • Markus Achtelik, ETH - ASL • Laurent Kneip, ETH - ASL Application ________________________ Participation is limited to 60 students. Candidates will be selected based on the quality of their application. Please state on one single page (11pt font): • your scientific background and degree • your motivation to come to this school • the topic of your thesis • any prior knowledge in the field • Please include a current academic transcript with your application (and • optionally a CV with a list of publications) and send it to Contact ________________________ [hidden email], subject "summer school application" Deadline for the application is April 15th, 2011. Successful candidates will be notified by April 22th and need to register and pay the course-fee by May 6. Logistics ________________________ Cost: The cost for the summer school is 300 CHF. This will cover all course materials, as well as breakfast, coffee-breaks, and two dinners during the school. Lunch and dinner is available at the ETH-Cafeterias and in nearby venues from ~15 CHF (including a drink). For the whole week, we put the additional living expenses at around CHF 200. Accommodation: We will provide basic accommodation for all participants in a remodeled former air-raid shelter in the basement of the Computer Science building (no windows). This is right next door to the course venue, and will feature dormitory style rooms with shared bathrooms. Pillows, blankets, and sheets will be provided. This accommodation will be free of charge for all participants. It will be open from Sunday evening to Saturday morning, to accommodate travel that requires an additional night in Zurich. If more privacy and comfort is desired, students must organize alternative accommodation on their own responsibility and expense (double rooms in Zurich start at around 65 CHF per night and person).
