Robotics and Applications - RA 2011

The 16th IASTED International Conference on Robotics and Applications (RA 2011) will be an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in robotics, telematics and the broad range of its applications. Specific emphasis will also be placed on telerobotics, which receives increasing attention due to the tremendous progress in telecommunication and data processing technologies. Applications of telematics are widely diversified and interact strongly with telerobotics. Telematics methods offer, in addition, interesting cross fertilization potential with the accompanying conference on telehealth technologies. In the frame of RA 2011, different aspects of robotics will be addressed such as the point of view of developers and researchers from academia and industry as well as business applications. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research results and ideas in the areas of: robotics technologies, robotics applications, and telerobotics and telematics.
