Motivation and Objectives

This workshop presents a continuation of the “Robotics for Logistis and Transport” workshops that took place at the ERF 2015,2016 and 2017 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.

The aim of first slot is to present recent developments and future challenges of the robotics for logistics. A series of flash presentations interleave contributions from industry and academia will discuss about new concepts, products and developments of robotics in logistics environments.

Contents

The workshop consist in two sections; Flash presentations from selected speakers and a round table.
During the round table, we will discuss about content of presentations and problems related to robot fleets.

Schedule

Date: 15th March

Duetto 1 (Sandvik room)
