SSRR 2019 - International Symposium on Safety, Security and Rescue Robotics

From 2 Sep, 2019 until 4 Sep, 2019
Categories: Conferences

Scope

The 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR2019) will be hosted at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg, Germany on 2-4 September 2019 and is supported by the Bavarian Firefighter School Würzburg. It is an international forum for furthering the study of key issues underpinning the research of safety, security and rescue robotics as well as solutions necessary for the fielding of robots and sensor systems across a variety of challenging application areas.  The seventeenth symposium in the series welcomes submissions of papers, late-breaking-reports, and robot demonstrations on the theory and practice of robotics and automation for all types of safety, security, and rescue applications such as disaster response, mitigation and recovery; rapid and secure inspection of critical infrastructure; detection of chemical, biological and radiological risks, and operations in these dangerous sites. The symposium will create a unique opportunity for development and exchange of research ideas and technical solutions. We welcome both theory and practice papers.
