Meet ECHORD++ at RoboBusiness Europe
From 1st – 3rd June 2016, RoboBusiness Europe, the event where robotics means business, will take place in Odense, Denmark, at Odense Congress Center.
The purpose of RoboBusiness Europe is to provide robotics developers and end-users with a place to gather together and work on the essential connection between the development of the industry and the end-users’ needs or, in short, talk about ECHORD++.
We’re proud that with two invited talks, one workshop and a booth at the exhibition area, ECHORD++ will have a very strong presence at the event. Here’s where you can meet us in particular:
On Wednesday, 1st June 2016, 15:30 – 16:00, Farid Dailami (Bristol Robotics Laboratory) will talk about “Robotics Innovation Facilities; progress so far” on the “Innovation” track.
On Thursday, 2nd June 2016, 12:30 – 13:00, Francesco Maurelli (Technical University of Munich) will provide the audience with insights on “Finding common ground between manufacturers and the research community” on the “Entrepreneurship” track.
Also on 2nd June 2016, 13:30 – 15:00, our workshop on “End-User Driven Development and Implementation of Healthcare Robots” will take place (location: New Tech Stage). Here’s a detailed programme of the workshop:
| Time | Topic | Speaker |
