EUROS 2008European Robotics Symposium (C)

12-15 MarchPrague, Czech RepublicEUROS was started in 2006 as a response to demands for a high-quality scientific event to present the best research on robotics across applications and topics. The EURON annual meeting serves to bring the European Robotics community together, but it has primarily been a networking event to discuss community issues rather than a scientific event.

HRI 2008International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (C)

12-15 MarchAmsterdam, The NetherlandsResearchers in robotics, human-factors, ergonomics, and human-computer interaction are invited to attend. Because human-robot interaction is inherently inter-disciplinary, the conference is seeking papers from several disciplines. A primary goal of the conference is to create a common venue for a broad set of researchers. By appealing to a broad set of researchers, the conference complements many existing venues. HRI is a single track, highly selective annual conference that seeks to showcase the very best in human-robot interaction.

ROMANSY' 08The 17th CISM-IFToMM Symposium on Robot Design, Dynamics, and Control

5-9 JulyTokyo, JapanThe First CISM-IFToMM Symposium on Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators was held on 5-8 September 1973, in Udine, Italy, not long after IFToMM had been founded in 1969. The first ROMANSY, or Ro.Man.Sy., as the Symposium used to be referred to, marks the beginning of a long-lasting partnership between two international institutions, CISM, the Centre International des Sciences Mécaniques and IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science.
