Next Month: ICRA 2010
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 14 of April , 2010 at 5:41 am
The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation takes place next month up in Anchorage, Alaska. From May 3rd to May 8th, the who’s who of the robotics industry will be exhibiting their innovations, showing off the latest research, and putting on workshops and tutorials. ICRA features the likes of iRobot, Willow Garage, Aldebaran Robotics, Boston Dynamics, and Kuka, as well as research institutions like Stanford and MIT and CMU, and even DARPA will be showing up. And, as long as you can get yourself to Alaska, ICRA is something you (you!) can participate in as well.
IEEE has a Robotics and Automation Society that’s open to anyone who’s interested in robots and (more specifically) interested in meeting up with other people in industry or research at events like ICRA. It’s easy to join, especially for students, and if you’re thinking about a career in robotics, ICRA isn’t a bad place to start.
Plus, Alaska is fabulous this time of year… You might even be able to catch your very own Paro, I hear you can find ‘em just wandering around up there.

I am going! and I could not be more excited.
I am naturally focusing on learning as much as possible about self-reconfiguring modular robotics as that is what my blog focuses on, but I hope to participate in as much other stuff as possible to.
I can really recommend everybody to attend the self-reconfiguring modular robotics workshop on Monday, May 3 (http://bit.ly/bcetLw) is is going to be fantastic as it is two years since the last one ( IROS 2008 in Nice) I am can also recommend the robotic contingency challenge (http://bit.ly/b5WWpa)
I am actually starting a podcast together with IT Conversations focusing on self-reconfiguring modular robotics. If you would like to participate just drop me a note and we will set something up, it doesn’t have to be something directly related to SRCMR, it can be sensors, actuators or production techniques you think could be relevant!
Use #ICRA2010 when you tweet so that everybody can follow!
Hope to see you there!
