Schunk Expert Days on Service Robotics

Hausen, Germany. For the fifth year in a row, Schunk, a provider of clamping technology and gripping systems, will host the Expert Days on Service Robotics. Under the motto "Service robotics - Quo vadis?" the communication platform for applied service robotics will examine the opportunities and potentials of this rapidly growing market. The anniversary event will focus on topics such as "Perception and Learning," "Marketing," "Robots and Component Design," and "Robots and People." For two days, global speakers will present current trends, the latest research, and promising business models. Two of the honored guests will be Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart from the ETH Zurich and Steve Cousins of the U.S. robotics firm Willow Garage. In 2012, the Expert Days will again serve as an intensive forum for the direct exchange of ideas between research, industry, business, and the press. Registrations for the symposium are now being accepted.
