The Austrian Robotics Workshop and OAGM Workshop will take place from May 9-10, 2019 in Steyr. The workshops are organized by two independent groups. 

• OAGM addresses image processing, and computer vision
• ARW (Austrian Robotics Workshop) addresses robots and automation, human-machine collaboration.

The Austrian Robotics Workshop aims to bring together researchers, experts and practitioners working on various robotics topics to discuss current developments and challenges in robotics and its applications. The new edition in Steyr is primarily aimed at robotics competence in the production area.

The OAGM workshop provides a platform for presentation and discussion of research progress as well as current projects with the OAGM/AAPR community.

The programme includes four invited talks, oral  and poster presentations of reviewed contributions in plenum and parallel sessions. This will provide opportunities to share ideas and discuss technical details.

Invited Talks are:

• Horst Bischof, TU Graz
• Jiří Matas, Center for Machine Perception, Czech Technical University in Prague
• Alin Albu-Schäffer, German Aerospace Center (DLR)
• Manfred Tscheligi, AIT

The Add+it 2018 offers a platform for science and industry to discuss challenges and topics all across additive manufacturing and innovative technologies. This year one-on-one meetings are organized in the framework of the Add+it symposium by the Enterprise Europe Network. B2B-Meetings are an ideal opportunity to initiate promising contacts in pre-arranged meetings (20 minutes each) with other participants of the symposium.  You register & publish your company profile and collaboration wishes at a dedicated website, browse the participant list and book meetings with delegates of your interest. Approx. one week before the event you receive your individual meeting schedule. Explore the opportunities and find new business, technology or research partners in the field of additive manufacturing. Besides the registration to the symposium an additional free-of-charge registration for the B2B-meetings is necessary at: https://addit2018.b2match.io/

During the Add+it 2018 international experts from ten different countries will share their knowledge in several talks and two parallel sessions to show what additive manufacturing offers today and what can be expected in the future.
