ELROB 2012
About
We are happy to announce that in conjunction with the ELROB 2012 there will be a Special Issue of the Journal of Field Robotics titled „Ground Robots Operating in Dynamic, Unstructured and Large-Scale Outdoor Environments“!
We would like to thank the following generous sponsors for their support:
-
ELP
-
Progenox
-
Telerob
-
RUAG
The ELROB „philosophy“ is to provide an overview of the current state of affairs in European unmanned system technology and to evaluate commercial off-the-shelf products for military use. In this context the focus is on systems or modules that can be realised in the short to medium-term. The participation of universities, institutes, companies and capability developers not only of European armed forces allows users, developers as well as representatives of trade and industry to congregate as a community. ELROB is not a „battle of competitors“ with high-tech visions but rather a forum to show what is feasible in robotics, to support technological developments in Europe, and to find solutions for the current military challenges.
