Visions are Tangible
Katharina Fegebank,Hamburg’s Deputy Mayor and Minister of Equality, said: “Robots that are able to fly, swim and dive, or intelligent systems that enable automated driving: what first sounds like a vision of the future is at reach for the researchers of the IROS 2015 conference. After twenty years, Hamburg is once again host to one of the largest robot trade conferences in the world. The Hanseatic city and the University of Hamburg thus confirm their important international role in research and innovation.
