CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

ROBOT'2017 - Third Iberian Robotics Conference
https://grvc.us.es/robot2017/
November 22-24, 2017
Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería  (ETSI)
Sevilla, Spain

ROBOT'2017: Third Iberian Robotics Conference will take place at the
Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería, Sevilla, Spain (November 22-24,
2017) and 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 from the important number of
attending delegates, have motivated us in organizing ROBOT 2017.
The main goal in ROBOT'2017 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 Spain and
Portugal, the conference is open for good quality submissions from any
country in the world. Also the conference will explore the future of
robotics and relations of robotics with other fields in its frontiers,
including Information and Communication Technologies, Additive
Manufacturing (3D printing) and Mechanical Engineering, looking for
synergies and new promising ideas. Moreover, industrial applications and
technology transfer are targeted in ROBOT’2017. 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 from top
journals.
ROBOT’2017 is organized by the “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).
