12th Annual IEEE/CASE Conference – UTARI
Members of the UTARI research staff will be actively involved at twelfth annual IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), and will be held in Fort Worth Texas, USA, August 21 to 24, 2016.
The goal of this conference is to provide broad coverage and dissemination of foundational research in automation among researchers, academics, and practitioners. Dr. Frank Lewis is general chair of the organizing committee and Dr. Aditya Das is the Industrial Liaison Chair, and will also be presenting the topic “A Scalable and Rate-Independent Manufacturing Architecture for On-Demand Production” on Sunday, August 21 (part of the full day workshop starting 9 a.m.). This workshop will focus on providing industrial representatives the opportunity to describe their needs, and academia to describe new tools and capabilities that they can provide. It is also an opportunity to introduce researchers into the area and foster collaboration so as to improve the state-of-the-art in warehouse automation.
Drs. Muthu Wijesundara and Jeongsik Shin will be leading a workshop titled “Automation for Assistive HealthCare.” Assistive device healthcare is one of the most important applications for researchers, engineers, and stakeholders looking to improve the human condition and quality of living through technology. Recent technological advancements in sensors, robotics, computing, and artificial intelligence allows for the development of systems with better compatibility in human use. This workshop will introduce participants to some of these new areas for automation in assistive healthcare.
