ARSO 2018

IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts

AI EMPOWERED ROBOTICS AND ITS IMPACT ON SOCIETY

Genoa, Italy

Program

Important: with respect to the original schedule the program of the conference has been shortened to two days. We are planning two days of technical sessions (27-28), with technical tours in the afternoon of the 28.

Program: to stimulate interaction and discussions among participants, the majority of contributions will be presented in interactive form, during long coffee breaks. Technical sessions will feature one keynote speech and spotlight talks from either contributed papers or invited guests.
