organization

Participants arrived on Tuesday, September 29, and met at 6pm in the conference hotel lobby (Disney's Yacht & Beach Club® Resort), ready to give a 5-minute presentation of each of their engagements with architectural robotics. The organizers provided a video data projector and held each participant to 5 minutes. After this introduction, the organizers hosted an informal workshop dinner in the historic area of downtown Orlando. By the formal start of the workshop, 8:30am on Wednesday September 30, all participants had read the extended abstracts posted on this workshop site, had received a brief presentation about each participant’s activities, and had discussed their work informally over dinner. On Wednesday, the workshop discussion was more structured; and then, for a change of pace, participants created short stop-motion videos (examples) to illustrate, along with the collected position papers, visions of architectural robotics in 2019. These videos streamed into the Ubicomp conference’s video program.
