Robolift: explore today’s most life-changing topic - Robotics!
We are excited to announce the birth of Robolift @ Inno-Robo, an event to explore one of today's most important and life-changing domains: robotics!
The Robolift conference will take place on 23-25 March 2011 in Lyon, France, during the first edition of Inno-Robo the International summit dedicated to robotic technologies organized by the French Robotics Association Syrobo.
Robolift will explore innovation in robotics, artificial intelligence and networked objects. Since our first Lift conference in 2006, robotics, artificial intelligence, smart algorithms and networked objects have been the focus of our attention. With robots set to become mainstream and impact every one of us, it makes great sense to gather the thinkers and doers of this field to talk about the developments and innovations ahead.
Grab your ticket today and join us in Lyon in March. Tickets are available at the early bird rate of 280€ until Nov. 30th.
