Events

Following a successful line of conferences started in 2010, this 8th conference gives the latest update on the use of Computed Tomography (CT) in the industry. The conference program includes 9 invited presentations by international experts and industrial users of CT. Challenges and solutions will be illustrated relative to the use of CT for inspection and quality assurance in the manufacturing of industrial parts, the medical industry and in food production.

Computational Cybernetics is the synergetic integration of Cybernetics and Computational Intelligence techniques. Hence the topics of the ICCC covers not only mechanical, but biological (living), social and economical systems and for this uses computational intelligence-based results of communication theory, signal processing, information technology, control theory, the theory of adaptive systems, the theory of complex systems (game theory, operational research), and computer science.

Topical Focus

Robotics in the food-industry deems to be necessary to keep up with the challenges and demands of the 21th century. The goal of this workshop is to present the latest trends and developments related to food & food processing robotics, and to discuss the roadmap for future enhancements to these fields. Research and expert statements abstracts, delivered as e-poster presentations are sought in the overall topical area of food and agricultural robotics, including but not limited to:

• Mechatronics for agro-food
• Meat sector automation solutions
• Poultry production and automation
• Robotics for food processing
• In the keynote, the RoBUTCHER H2020 project will be presented, which aims to build the first completely automated cell-based slaughterhouse.

The European Robotics Forum, the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe.

ERF2020 will host a major exhibition where companies, universities and research institutes showcase the most advanced European prototypes, products, services and projects funded under EU’s Horizon 2020 research programme. With over 50 workshops highlighting the newest robotics research, the event will offer a unique window to the latest developments on the European markets.
