The 1997 AAAI Mobile Robot Exhibition

The 1997 American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Mobile Robot Exhibition was held in conjunction with the 1997 AAAI Mobile Robot Competition at the Fourteenth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-97). Twenty-one robotic teams participated, making this the largest robot exhibition ever. See figure 1 for a photo of the exhibition participants. Since the first Mobile Robot Competition and Exhibition at AAAI-92, the exhibition has served to demonstrate robotics research that is beyond the scope of the competition tasks. Conference attendees are able to see current research of many robotics researchers. The 1997 exhibition consisted of demonstrations, a video loop, and posters. At AAAI-97, robot demonstrations were given by Applied AI (various robots), Brown University (RAMONA), Colorado School of Mines (SILVER
