Motivation and Objectives
The aim is to bring together end users, logistics and robotics companies and researchers working on novel approaches, through a mixture of talks from invited speakers and round-table discussions.

The topics are centred around new developments and real-world implementations, from logistics flows down to grasping, as well as current research in the field.

This workshop presents a continuation of the “Robotics for Logistis and Transport” workshops that took place at the ERF 2015,2016, 2017 and 2018 and where research projects with the focus on Robotics for Logistics and Transport were given the opportunity to present their objectives, approaches and use cases.

Contents

The workshop consists of two sections; Flash presentations from selected speakers and a round table.
