Description
The Israeli Conference on Robotics (ICR) is a bi-annual meeting, with the first conference held in June 2006. It is intended to provide a forum for Israeli and foreign researchers and engineers from industry and academia to discuss and exchange ideas on contemporary topics in robotics and automation, encourage local and international collaborations, and foster a viable robotics industry in Israel.
A specific goal of the 2nd ICR is to solicit governmental support to recognize robotics as a field of national priority. The scientific program will include plenary talks that will review the current state of robotics worldwide, a panel discussion that will focus on the future of robotics in Israel, and presentations of contributed and invited papers in several technical tracks.
The scope of the conference covers topics that range from theoretical developments to industrial applications and emphasize current interests of the local robotics community and perceived needs of the Israeli industry:
- Service robots
- Robots in defense applications
- Medical robots
- Autonomous vehicles
- Automated manufacturing
- Navigation and motion planning
- Robotics Education
- Localization and mapping
- Biologically inspired systems
- Multirobot systems
- Robot design and control
- Machine Vision
- Robots in agriculture
- Robots in security applications
Talks will be given in Hebrew and English.
