17:25 – 17:45: Round Table: What Are the Main Barriers for Robotics Applications in Logistics and Transport
What should participants prepare?
During the round table, we will discuss the main scientific and technical barriers w.r.t robotics in logistics and transport applications, with inspiration from the invited talks, and the open questions identified at the 2015 workshop. Participant should prepare by reading the conclusions of 2015 workshop ERF215_Round_Table_Discussion
