Report on the AAAI 2010 Robot Exhibition

The 19th robotics program at the annual AAAI conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia, in July 2010. In this article we give a summary of three components of the exhibition: the Small‐Scale Manipulation Challenge: Robotic Chess; the Learning by Demonstration Challenge; and the Education Track. In each section we detail the challenge task. We also describe the participating teams, highlight the research questions they tackled, and briefly describe the systems they demonstrated.
