ROBOT’2019 – Fourth Iberian Robotics Conference

https://web.fe.up.pt/~robot2019/

November 20-22, 2019

Porto – Portugal

————————————————————–

Dear colleague,

We are pleased to inform you that ROBOT’2019 – Fourth Iberian Robotics Conference will be held in Porto, Portugal, on November 20-22, 2019.

The conference is organized by SPR – Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica and SEIDROB – Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica and will be held within the premises of the School of Engineering of the Porto Polytechnic.

 

Conference Scope

ROBOT’2019 main goal is to continue the precedent efforts in showing the robotic research and development of new applications in the Iberian Peninsula. Although focused on the works developed at Iberia, the conference is open for good quality submissions from any country in the world.

ROBOT’2019 will feature technical and social programs. The technical program is organized around a main track and a set of Special Sessions, and will also comprise plenary talks from internationally recognized robotics researchers. All articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed before acceptance.

It is envisaged that all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer – Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series, indexed by Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and SCOPUS, as well as on CD/flash drive, subject to registration of at least one author for presenting the work.

A selection of the conference presented best papers will also be recommended for publication as extended versions in Special Issues from international top Journals.

 

Conference Topics

The conference aims to gather researchers from the industry and academia to present and discuss the latest trends in research and technology in the fields of robotics and related areas.

We invite original contributions in all areas relevant to robotics, covering mobile, walking, flying, marine, underwater, and industrial robots. The conference will cover analysis (modelling and simulation) techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and realisations of developed robotic systems. Support technologies for realisation of such systems, namely sensors and actuators, computer vision and image processing, tactile & haptics devices, control algorithms and architectures, localization, mapping and navigation, associated economic, ethical, legal and social considerations are integral part of the conference theme. Human-robot interaction, including medical robots, exoskeletons, prostheses and orthoses, as well as personal and service robots forms an increasingly active and important pertinent area.

European Robotics Forum Entrepreneurship Prize – call for participants

https://www.eu-robotics.net/robotics_forum/press/call-entrepreneurship.html

We invite all entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs in the robotics field to join the competition for the prestigious Entrepreneurship Award.

The euRobotics Entrepreneurship Award is given out each year at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) to the most promising robotic start up as judged by a jury of robotic entrepreneurship pioneers and experts.

Entrants to the competition stand the chance to gain valuable skills in how to pitch an investment idea together with the potential to gain interest in their company from the robotics and investment community. The 2019 edition of the Entrepreneurship Award will take place on 20-21 March, at the European Robotics Forum 2019, in Bucharest, Romania.

Benefits from participation

Each selected participant will have their flight and accommodation (up to € 500) and ERF attendance fees paid for one person, and will furthermore receive feedback on their pitch and project from the screening committee and an offer of a further 3 * 1 hour of counselling from European level robotic entrepreneurship experts.

Three participants will be selected as Finalists and pitch in the open Entrepreneurship Award workshop along with robotics entrepreneurship role models, and will receive a Finalist diploma, an ERF banquet fee paid for one person and recognition on stage during the ERF banquet.

The Entrepreneurship winner will additionally receive extensive coverage on ERF social media and recognition in ERF public promotion materials and in an press release and an ERF Entrepreneurship Award winner diploma and announcement on stage at the ERF banquet.

Motivation and objective

The objective of the workshop is to encourage the wider acceptance of entrepreneurship in robotics researchers by providing Entrepreneurial coaching to several teams who themselves have ideas for developing robotics products or services.

Time of workshop

The workshop will take place over three sessions: on 20 March, the first private coaching session will be between 8:30 and 10:30 and the second private coaching session will be between 14:00 and 16:00. Each participant will be invited for just one of these private coaching sessions. All participants will receive feedback in the afternoon of the 20 March, and the three selected Finalist will be invited for a Finalists coaching session on the 20March between 16:15 and 18:30.

The three Finalists will pitch in the Entrepreneurship Award 2019 workshop on 21March between 10:45 and 12:15. The first two sessions will be closed sessions for the entrants only, while the last session will be open to all ERF participants, and will also feature role model presentations by a successful robotic entrepreneur.

Reunion de lanzamiento ERC Advanced Grant GRIFFIN

El día 16 de Noviembre a las 10 de la mañana, en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Sevilla, tendrá lugar la reunión de lanzamiento de la Advanced Grant del European Research Council

GRIFFIN
General compliant aerial Robotic manipulation system Integrating Fixed and Flapping wings to INcrease  range and safety

La Agenda puede descargarse desde: https://griffin-erc-advanced-grant.eu/project-kick-off-meeting-agenda/

En GRIFFIN se trata de superar las limitaciones de los robots manipuladores aéreos que se han desarrollado hasta la fecha en lo que respecta al tiempo de vuelo y la seguridad en la interacción con las personas. Para ello se adopta un enfoque bioinspirado. Los robots manipuladores aéreos que se pretende desarrollar serán capaces de planear, batir las alas, posarse de forma muy precisa y manipular con otras extremidades.

La entrada es libre pero se requiere apuntarse en: https://goo.gl/forms/98a6pKnfUlJwPVBz2

Se trata de establecer colaboraciones en los temas de GRIFFIN entre los que se incluyen diseño, modelado, control, percepción y planificación de robots manipuladores aéreos con alas batientes.
