Robotica 2012: 12th International Conference on
Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions

April 11, 2012, Guimarães, Portugal

 


The 12th International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions (www.robotica2012.org/EC) is an international scientific meeting in the field of autonomous robotics and related areas, which will take place in conjunction with the 12th Portuguese Robotics Open, a RoboCup Local Event.

As in previous years, we expect the conference to get the Technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.

The conference will be held in the beautiful city of Guimarães, Portugal, on April 11, 2012. Guimarães is the cradle of Portugal and it was classified by Unesco as Worldwide Heritage. In 2012 it will be European Capital of Culture.
