Future Industrial Robotics Systems

Special Session on ROBOT2015 - The second Iberian Robotics Conference - November 19-21, 2015

 

Organizers: Germano Veiga (INESC-TEC), José Lima (INESC-TEC/IPB)

 

The objective of this special session is to open a discussion forum that allows experts and potential end-users of the future industrial robotics systems application to cross share recent developments, challenges and current and new research trends. The advent of new robotics systems, such as mobile manipulators, safe robots for co-working, dual-arm robots, advanced sensors and new interaction technologies open a wide range of new application that in turn raise significant challenges that need to be tackled. The special session will provide the common ground in terms of what was brought by research in the last years and what are the manufacturing challenges that can sustain the takeoff of these new robotics technologies use in industrial settings. On one hand the special session will have end-users involved in industrial oriented research projects in manufacturing application scenarios and on the other hand the workshop will bring researchers together to share the latest research in topics such as Localization and Navigation, both platform and arm, Software frameworks, safe Human robot interaction and cooperation, Multi-robot cooperation, dual arm assembly, grasping and object recognition and localization. It is expected that the special session will contribute for the bridging of the gap between the industry needs and research activities, both pointing research challenges and high impact applications scenarios.
