Construction Robotics at ERF 2018

Tother with our colleagues from the Institute of Mechanism Theory, Machine Dynamics and Robotics we are organizing the Construction Robotics topic group workshop at this years European Robotics Forum in Tampere.

Panelists from various backgrounds ranging from industry, end-users and research will discuss the hotspots within the construction sector that are most relevant for potential robotic solutions, in order to identify the main challenges (technological, societal, legal) and required developments/consolidations/adaptation/specialisation/combination of relevant technologies for this new domain. The panel discussion will merge into an open round table with the audience.

Date and Venue: 14.03.2018 08:30-10:00, Tampere Hall (to be confirmed)
