I attended ICSR (
International Conference on Social Robotics) 2011. Just a short, two day trip.
It was held at the University of Amsterdam. I attended as an invited speaker at a panel discussion.
It was the 3rd international conference on this topic but my first time to see many presentations on human robot interaction. And of course, the robots themselves:
The conference sessions lasted all day starting in the morning. However, in the evening, we were able to go out, relax and experience the ambience of this very compact and walkable city: see bicycles, canals, and those narrow canal houses with richly ornamented facades. Preservation seems to be a priority here: as a result, I feel a real sense of history everywhere.
Let's try a little local beer. Let's see what they have on tap. Hmm, the
Manke Monnik Tripel brewed by
Amsterdamsche Stoombierbrouwerij De Bekeerde Suster looks interesting.
There very much seems to be a pub culture here.
Live jazz. This small place was packed. Standing room only.
Cheers to you!
A last picture, I feel I'm the happy monk:
It's onto Doha, Qatar next, another world away...
