On behalf of the ERF Programme Committee, we invite you to submit your workshop proposal for the 16th edition of the European Robotics Forum, to be held from 25-27 March 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Introduction
The European Robotics Forum is the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe, spanning academia, industry and society. It aims to foster communication and knowledge transfer and covers technology, application and impact of robotics. The ERF provides a podium to discuss recent and future advances in robotics in context of applications, societal impact, ethical and legal considerations. Robotics includes classical aspects such as mechatronics, control, perception, and cognition, as well as current themes like AI and data in relation to robotics.
Based on the feedback received, we revised the programme generation concept. Therefore it’s important to read the following information carefully as we want to improve the ERF year by year.
