IERA Award presented at ICRA 2017
Jul 17, 2017 — The 13th Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Robotics and Automation Award (IERA) was presented to the Relay butler robot. Made by Savioke, an American company, the little robot completes deliveries all on its own, for example in hotels, hospitals or logistics centers.
“There are a variety of educational opportunities as well as many networking situations where I have broadened my industry contacts with suppliers, partners and end users. The IFR has been a strong advocate for our industry bringing awareness to crucial areas to insure visibility and awareness of the benefits of automation and service robots in various markets. The IFR offers the opportunity to exchange information and create alliances or partnerships.”
“The industry is experiencing technical breakthroughs in many areas like human robot collaboration, mobility, and artificial intelligence. The IFR is the globally central point to stay informed about these and other trends. The key advantages of our involvement with the IFR have been and continue to be, education, networking, research and advocacy.”
Established in 1987, IFR has brought together the international robotics players in more than 20 countries. It is a unique platform for sharing information and exchanging ideas, thus contributing to the dynamic development of the robotics around the world. The role of IFR is becoming more and more important for further global development of robotics in the future. CRIA is proud to be part of this international robotics family.
"The International Federation of Robotics is here to provide a reliable and highly trained professional network for the robotics community. By sponsoring the International Symposium on Robotics (ISR), the IFR stands as a major driver for researchers and engineers from around the globe, allowing them to present their pioneering works in service and industrial robotics."
“What I have learned from IFR: The market data on new technologies and trends provided by the IFR are essential for anyone involved in robotics. The IFR meetings have been tremendously beneficial for bringing together industry and academia, and providing invaluable networking opportunities.”
