Together again! After four years, the International Symposium on Robotics ISR and the German Conference for Robotics ROBOTIK, organized by Fraunhofer IPA and the
German Society for Robotics (DGR) join forces for the third time. The joint International Conference ISR/ROBOTIK 2014 will be held in Munich, Germany, from June 2 - 3.

Be sure to register soon, as indicated in this brochure. We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts! The international trade fair for automation and mechatronics
AUTOMATICA has again been chosen as conference platform. AUTOMATICA expects more than 800 exhibitors and more than 30,000 visitors from June 3-6, 2014. As the fair will last longer than ISR/ROBOTIK 2014, there is the possibility and time for all conference participants to visit this interesting exhibition during and after the conference.

In about 150 presentations, ISR/ROBOTIK 2014 will, once again, give an insight to the latest state-of-the-art robot technology to participants from both industry and science. Sessions will be held on Research and Development as well as Components & Technologies, also Robotics in Productio/Industrial Robots will be addressed as well as Robotics in Service / Mobile Robotics.
Additionally there will be sessions on Robotics in New Markets & Applications and Economic, Social, Educational, and Environmental Issues. Presentations of the final nominees of the Engelberger Award highlight the conference’s gala banquet. Of course there will be a conference poster session and video presentations of latest robot developments, that can be visited between and parallel to the conference sessions. We cordially invite researchers and experts from the field of robotics to send in their abstracts and we are full of expectations for an exciting conference programme in June 2014.
