The First Japan-Chile Symposium in Field Robotics aims to provide an overview of the current state of robotics, with a focus on field robotics. It will address various application areas from a technical point of view, while also promoting discussion on the economical, social and technical impacts of this technology.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the symposium will be held online from March 22-24, 2021, and will have lectures of renown academics from Japan, Chile and abroad, with these researchers sharing their views with the audience on various topics, while also providing several opportunities for discussion.
Join us in Chile for this event!
