CALL FOR PAPERS for the conference of 47th International Symposium on Robotics in cooperation with: Robotics in the era of digitalisation June 21 22, 2016 Messe München, Entrance East, Munich, Germany in conjunction with June 21 24, 2016
Welcome of the Chairs of Robotics in the era of Digitalization! After two years the 47th International Symposium on Robotics will again be held in Munich, Germany, from June 21-22, 2016. This international conference is jointly organized by the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) and the Information Technology Society (ITG) within VDE and supported by Fraunhofer IPA and the German Society for Robotics (DGR). The international trade fair for automation and mechatronics AUTOMATICA has again been chosen as conference platform. AUTOMATICA expects more than 800 exhibitors and more than 35,000 visitors from June 21-24, 2016. As the fair will last longer than, there is the possibility and time for all conference participants to visit this interesting exhibition during and after the conference. In about 150 presentations, will give an insight to the latest state-of-the-art robot technology to participants from both industry and science. Sessions will be held on Modeling, Planning and Control as well as Components & Technologies, also Robotics in Production / Industrial Robots will be addressed as well as Service Robotics. Additionally there will be sessions on Robotics in New Markets & Applications and on the workplace of the future. Presentations of the final nominees of the Joseph F. Engelberger Award highlight the conference s gala banquet. Of course there will be a conference poster session and video presentations of latest robot development, that can be visited between and parallel to the conference sessions. We cordially invite researchers and experts from the field of robotics to send in their abstracts and we are full of expectations for an exciting conference program in June 2016. We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts! The Place to be for Robotics The 47th International Symposium on Robotics () in cooperation with DGR (German Society on Robotics) takes place at Messe München Entrance East, Munich, Germany from June 21-22, 2016. The conference is organized in conjunction with the robotics exhibition AUTOMATICA, which will be held June 21-24, 2016. AUTOMATICA, June 21 24, 2016 The International Trade Fair for Automation and Mechatronics, taking place every two years at the Messe München, has been the automation fair with the world largest range of robotics, integrated assembly solutions and machine vision solutions from the beginning in 2004. AUTOMATICA presents the key technologies of assembly and handling, robotics and machine vision and associated technologies. AUTOMATICA thus represents the entire spec trum of automation and forms complete valueadded chains from components to system, and from application to services. As in the past, service robotics is a main category with its own exhibtion sector at AUTOMATICA. Again, the simultaneous organization of the events will provide a number of benefits to the participants: The conference offers the latest results in the fields of research and development in robotics as well as in new applications. The trade show AUTOMATICA will present the latest products, systems and components for robotics, machine vision, assembly, handling and service robotics. Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. mult.
