Join us!

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.

The participation is free. The registration process will open during August 2019.

During December 2019 two robotic events will take place in Chile:

• The IEEE RAS International Summer School on “Deep Learning for Robot Vision” will be held on December 9-13, 2019 in Santiago & Rancagua, Chile. More information at http://robotvision2019.amtc.cl.
• the First Japan-Chile Symposium in Field Robotics will take place Rancagua, Chile, 16-18 December, 2019. More information at https://sites.google.com/uoh.cl/fieldrobot2019/.

Join us at both events!
