The International Symposium on Robotics (ISR) gearing up to a couple of months of opening its doors in Barcelona. The 40th edition of the ISR is held in the city of Barcelona 16 years after the last edition. From 10 to 13 March, the Spanish Association of Robotics and automation production technologies (AER-ATP) organizes the event that coincides with the eighth edition of the industrial fair Maquitec. The Symposium is sponsored by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

The ISR is an event that brings together scientists, teachers and technicians from all over the world, giving researchers and engineers the opportunity to present their projects and exchange ideas. The Symposium will offer five types of sessions: científico-técnicas, industrial, technology transfer, new products and opportunities for research funding. During the three days Symposium, will be presented the latest advances and discoveries of the hand of reference professionals, associations and most influential companies in the sector. At the same time, the event also encourages young people interested in new technologies. This is one of the objectives of the Symposium: bringing together the professionals of the sector in the same space and the incorporation of new members to this world.

The Symposium, will showcase the latest advances and discoveries of the hand of reference professionals, associations and most influential companies in the sector.

The scientific and technical sessions will include lectures on industrial robotics, human-robot interaction, etc.

Industrial and scientific and technical sessions

The scientific and technical sessions will include lectures on industrial robotics, interaction between humans and robots, robotic services, biological inspiration, micro- and nanorobotics, robotics Robotics Robotics, cognitive mobile, model and control, design in robotics, sensors and components, robotic education, and economic issuessocial and environmental.

The industrial sessions will focus on the sectors of food and agriculture, aeronautics, the automobile industry and the packaging. Also, new products discuss innovations that have opened new markets or those that have introduced significant changes in existing markets. Technology transfer sessions will focus on the experiences and results of research in real applications in the industrial world; and, finally, in the sessions of search for financial resources for research, the funds allocated to research in this area and to the development of the industrial robotics and the services is living in different countries are measured.

ISR 2009 will expire on 13 March with a visit to a local company in the food sector industrial, and tourist visits planned in the city of Barcelona for Saturday 14th.

Coinciding with Maquitec 2009

The eighth edition of the industrial fair Maquitec, which will be held from 10 to 14 March, will take place simultaneously with the ISR. The fair, directed to the metallurgical sector, places particular emphasis on the participation of companies of robotics, engineering, automation, CAD-CAM and the metallurgical sector. Up to 320 stands, 1,110 signatures and more than 20,000 professionals will be present exhibiting their equipment, technologies and metallurgical production processes.

The interaction between humans and robots will be one of the themes of the scientific and technical sessions.

Since 1970 the International Symposium of Robotics had been organized in different continents, countries and cities jointly with an international exhibition of robots

Meeting of the Organizing Committee

The Organizing Committee of the International Symposium of Robotics 2009 (ISR 2009) met on October 24 at Fira de Barcelona to discuss the program and the topics to be dealt with during the 2009 income tax, and to take stock of the ISR 2008 which was held from 15 to 17 October in Seoul.

The Chairman of the program Committee of the 2009 ISR and delegate in Spain of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), Luis Basañez Villaluenga, attended the annual Congress 2008 in Seoul, during which he presented the programme of the ISR 2009 to be held in Barcelona.

About ISR

Since 1970 the International Symposium of Robotics (ISR) had been organized in different continents, countries and cities jointly with an international exhibition of robots. The International Federation of Robotics was founded in 1987, coinciding with the 70th Edition of the event, as a professional organization non-profit in order to promote the research, development, use and international cooperation in the field of robotics.

AER-ATP, founded in 1985, is a non-profit in order to unite different groups in the development of robotics. AER-ATP is the Spanish Association of reference in the field of robotics, both in public and in private.

In 2007, the ISR took place in Rosemont (Chicago) jointly with the international Robot and Vision Show. The event promoted interaction with robots, demonstrating the simplicity of the technology and its application in specific situations. In 2008, the ISR was held from 15 to 17 October in Seoul.
