From 10 to 13 March 2009, Hall Maquitec of Fira de Barcelona will host the 40 International Symposium on Robotics (ISR), which will bring together more than 300 researchers, scientists, engineers and technical industry around the world on the latest advances in robotics applied to industry. This annual symposium - held since 1970 by itinerant form in Europe, North America and Asia-, is organized by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) in 2009 will delegate this responsibility to the Spanish Association of Robotics and automation of production technologies (AER-ATP) with the collaboration of Maquitec as a platform for contact with the market.
"The choice of Barcelona as the European headquarters of the International Symposium responds to the progressive growth of the Park's robots installed in Spain, a 10.5 per cent in 2006, which places us among the five first European countries with the highest number of robots in their industry", says the Manager of AER-ATP, Xavier Grau, according to the latest available data, in our country there are in operation more than 26,000 robots. Almost half of the 2,527 robots installed in 2006 went to the automotive and components industry. However there is a significant increase in the demand for this technology by sectors such as food and beverages, manufacturing of metal products, chemicals and plastics, machinery and equipment, and electronics and communication, among others.
ISR 2009 will show innovation, market trends and applications of Robotics from the scientific and industrial point of view. The Committee of the programme, consisting of members of the IFR, will define the content of the plenary sessions in which intervene recognized experts in the field of Robotics researchers. For its part, the Organizing Committee, coordinated by the host institution AER-ATP and that also it will be part of the President of Maquitec, Josep Morell, develop presentations about new advances in robotics and automation for use in different industrial sectors and on the latest features of service robotics.
The celebration of the International Symposium on Robotics is always integrated in a fair that exhibits at the same time some of the latest industrial applications of robotics, this will be the case in Maquitec 2009 which will boost the presence of companies in this field. Hall of Fira de Barcelona will also complete its offer commercial with exhibitors of machine tool by booting, machine tool by deformation, welding, outsourcing, cutting tools, hydraulic, pneumatics, CAD / CAM, measurement and control, accessories and surface heat treatments, automation, toolsEngineering and support services. In the next Maquitec, over 320 booths will be 20,000 meters cuadradosnetos in halls 2 and 3 of the Gran via exhibition with solutions and innovation for the industry. Maquitec closed its doors on March 14, a day after the close of the 2009 income tax.
