SEIDROB Sister Society of IEEE-RAS

The IEEE Robotics & Automation Society (RAS) signs a Sister Society Agreement with the Spanish Society for Research and Development in Robotics (SEIDROB).

The agreement, which is reported in the web of IEEE RAS (http://www.ieee-ras.org/), promotes becoming membership of both societies, cooperative activities relating to their publications, conferences, sessions and tracks in conferences, joint projects, publications, standards and educational material.

IEEE RAS is the most important society in the world devoted to Robotics and Automation, organizing or co-organizing every year 9 fully-sponsored conferences, 15 financially co-sponsored conferences, and 28 technically co-sponsored conferences and workshops. The three major RAS conferences organized every year with thousands of attendants are ICRA (International Conference on Robotics and Automation), CASE (International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering), and IROS (International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems).

The agreement was signed by Satoshi Tadokoro, RAS President and Anibal Ollero, SEIDROB President last September 26 at the IROS 2017 in Vancouver (Canada).

ROBOT 2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference

ROBOT’2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference November 22-24, 2017 Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería, Sevilla (Spain)

ROBOT´2017 (https://grvc.us.es/robot2017/) follows the First Iberian Robotics Conference held in Madrid in 2013 and the Second Iberian Robotics Conference held in Lisbon in 2015. These previous and successful events, both from the viewpoint of their scientific and technical quality, and for the important number of attending
delegates, have motivated us in organizing ROBOT 2017.

The conference will explore the future of robotics and relations of Robotics with other fields in its frontiers. The conference will include a Round
Table organized by CDTI to discuss the industrial collaboration and to present success stories of these collaborations.

As in previous editions, the conference proceedings will be published by Springer – Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Series, indexed by
Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge and SCOPUS. Extended versions of the conference best papers will also be published in Special Issues of top Journals.

Robot’2017 is Organized by Sociedad Española para la Investigación y Desarrollo en Robótica (SEIDROB) and the Sociedade Portuguesa de Robótica
(SPR), with the collaboration of the “Red de Agentes Físicos” and the support of the Spanish Network for Robotics and Mechatronics (REDROM).
