Symposium examines new potentials of service robotics

From February 29 to March 1st 2012, experts from all over the world attended the 5th Expert Days on Service Robotics at SCHUNK, the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems. The event is the world’s leading communication platform for applied service robotics. Under the slogan 'Service Robotics – Quo Vadis?' 18 speakers from ten countries presented in practice-orientated lec-tures, a comprehensive picture of the human-robot interaction. Focus of the interdisciplinary cooperation were issues such as 'Perception and Learning', 'Market Development', 'Robot and Component Design' as well as 'Robot and Humans'.

The significance of the symposium event from the committed family-owned company was proven by the speakers list. The speakers ranged from Steve Cousins, president and CEO of the American ro-botics forge Willow Garage, to Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart of the ETH in Zurich. Lectures from Bosch, Siemens, Philips and the European Commission made it clear that service robotics used in the commer-cial and domestic sector has become a major economic factor, which is commercially used by an increasing number of companies.
