<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are the basic mechanisms involved in the learning of affordances similar to ones that lead to tool use? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What are the algorithm and strategies that can support the emergence of this knowledge in robots? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can affordances enable generalisation (and even creativity) in cognitive robots?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">The goal of this <b>full-day</b> <b>workshop</b> is to try to answer these questions (and more!) while depicting the current state of the art concerning the <b>modeling of affordances and motor cognition in humanoid robots</b>, standing from a <b>multi-disciplinary</b> point of view, and to sketch the main challenges and future directions of the field.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The workshop will be held on <b>Monday the 28th of September 2015</b>, as part of the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (</span><b><a href="http://www.iros2015.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">IROS 2015</span></a></b><span style="font-size: large;">), that will take place in <b>Hamburg, Germany</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">A call for contribution is <a href="http://objectaffordances.blogspot.pt/p/call-for-contributions.html">open</a>.</span><br />
