Robot Summer 2007 at Georgia Tech
RoboCup 2007 Atlanta is one of a series of events hosted at
Georgia Tech as part of Robot Summer 2007. Georgia Tech is
pleased to welcome more than 3000 of the top robotics
researchers and students from around the world to our campus
for these events.
Robot Summer starts with a robot camp for kids from June 25

http://www.ceismc.gatech.edu/summercamps
Up next, from June 26-30 is Robotics: Science and Systems,
one of the world's premier robotics conferences. See:
http://www.roboticsconference.org
RoboCup competitions commence July 1-8, and the RoboCup
Symposium runs July 9-10. See:
Several robot companies will demonstrate their robots
at RoboCup July 7-8, additional booth space is
available. For information, email Director of
Operations Steve Kearney at stevekearney1@gmail.com
The International Aerial Robotics Competition will be
organized by Georgia Tech July 23-27 at Fort Benning,
Georgia.
RoboCup Village on the Georgia Tech Campus
We encourage all teams and team leaders to sign up for on
campus housing. These accomodations were built for the
athletes participating in the 1996 Olympics. Our on campus
housing is just steps away from the main RoboCup 2007 venues.
All other locations are easily reached by our special bus
service.
On campus options range in cost from $35 to $50 per person
per night. The lowest cost option provides a single bed in
rooms with two beds. At the other end of the spectrum we
offer bedrooms in apartments. All rooms have wired Internet
connections (guests will need to bring their own ethernet
cable) and are air conditioned (important in summer in
Atlanta!).
You may also register for convenient campus dining to include
breakfast and dinner each day. Dining is adjacent to campus
housing.
Planning Your Trip
Citizens from many countries must obtain a tourist visa
which in some cases can take up to several months. You may
need a letter of invitation from RoboCup to secure a visa.
Please follow the link from
http://www.robocup-us/registration.html
to request a letter.
Planning the trip is not only about the visa though. The USA
has other specifics to take in consideration, for example
110V electrical power and the imperial measurement system. To
make your travel to the USA a little bit easier, we have
created an International Travel Information page on the
RoboCup Wiki,
http://wiki.cc.gatech.edu/robocup/index.php/Travel_Information
where you can find more information and tips regarding your
travel as well as contact information for RoboCup
Ambassadors. Our ambassadors are Georgia Tech student
volunteers who are offereing to share their knowledge and
experience about traveling to the US.
Message from the Chair...
Dear RoboCuppers!
I am proud that the Georgia Institute of Technology is
hosting one of the most exciting robotics events of the year,
an event that truly integrates research and invention with
fun, excitement, adventure and team spirit - RoboCup 2007
Atlanta. We are all curious to see what another year of
development and creativity will bring to the field.
As we get closer to the event be sure to keep your eye out
for this newsletter as we will be bringing you important
news about registration and travel to RoboCup 2007. We will
also highlight some of the teams around the world and provide
more information about Atlanta.
On behalf of the RoboCup organizing team, let me say that we
are dedicated to making RoboCup 2007 a wonderful experience
for you, the participants.
I look forward to seeing you all in July 2007.
Tucker Balch
