ISR 2010 / ROBOTIK 2010
IERA Award - Final Call for Applications
From 7 to 9 June 2010 the joint conference of the 41st International Symposium on Robotics ISR 2010 and the 6th German Conference on Robotics ROBOTIK 2010 takes place at the International Congress Centre Munich in Germany. The joint conference is organized in conjunction with the international trade fair AUTOMATICA. These events offer a platform for researchers and developers as well as for manufacturers, users, and integrators in the field of robotics.
The programme committee of ISR/ROBOTIK 2010 closed the Call for Papers. 244 abstracts were submitted within the deadline. The overwhelming number of submitted abstracts for ISR/ROBOTIK 2010 demonstrates the growing interest in robotics and the increasing importance of its technologies being one of today's key components of modern industrial production and automation processes worldwide. In more than 160 presentations, held in five parallel sessions, ISR/ROBOTIK 2010 gives both, participants from industry and science, an insight to the latest state-of-the-art robot technology. The programme will be sent out soon.
Still today the ISR is the world's robotic summit for the international robotics community, providing perfect opportunity for scientists, engineers and industry to present their pioneering works in robotics. In addition, ISR/ROBOTIK 2010 is the best market place to cultivate contacts in robotics worldwide. More information is available on the webpage www.isr-robotik-2010.com.
IERA Award 2010 - Final Call For Applications
Applications for the IEEE/IFR Invention & Entrepreneurship Award (IERA Award) will be accepted until 18 April 2010. The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS) and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) jointly sponsor the Invention and Entrepreneurship Award. The purpose of this award is to highlight and honour the achievements of the inventors with value creating ideas and entrepreneurs who propel those ideas into world-class products.
A prestigious plaque will be awarded to each finalist and a US$ 2,000 prize will be awarded to the winner during the ISR banquet on 8 June 2010. Call for Applications pdf-download
