SYROBO, the Official French Robotics federation, announces today the launch of the 2nd edition of Innorobo, the Innovation Robotic Summit, the 14th, 15th and 16th of March 2012 in Lyon, France, in partnership with Region Rhône-Alpes, Grand Lyon and Expobooster.
While industrial robotics is recovering from the economic crisis, Service robotics benefit from major societal trends and provide innovative solutions to solve worldwide issues such as medical assistance to seniors for an aging population, energy monitoring and saving for planetary sustainable development, well-being and quality of life, assisting people in their daily chores and safety, traffic congestion and urban sprawl in megacities through autonomous transport solutions and robots in the cities.
At Innorobo, you will discover how service robotics technologies can help us shape a better future.
«After the tool extending his hand, then the machine multiplying his strength, man models his intelligence in his everyday objects. Robots will populate our homes, our schools and our cities. It is a new step for mankind. » - Bruno Bonnell, President of SYROBO.
INNOROBO is a unique opportunity in Europe to meet, at once, all the international key players of the service robotics industry.
The 1st edition launched in 2011 has been a great success with 100% satisfaction of the participants and their com mitment for the next edition. Innorobo 2012 will have all the ingredients that made the 1st one such a plebiscite summit and goes beyond with new services and areas.
Companies & Research centers worldwide will display their latest technologies, services and products through 120 booths and pavilions (against 80 in 2011) organized around 6 main themes covering the major fields of applications of service robotics:
- Home robotics
- Health and medical robotics*
- Robots in the city*
- Educational and Entertainment Robotics
- Human Robot Interface*
- Cloud Robotics*
*special focus of INNOROBO 2012 summit
A new interactive experiential area will be open to the general public with an ephemeral living lab to get a sense of the future as Robotics companies build it, but also, to attend demonstrations, workshops, competitions and public debates.
Last year, we welcomed more than 30 international renowned speakers, whether researchers (Cynthia Breazeal – MIT, Wendell Wallach – Yale, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer – INRIA), visionary entrepreneurs (Bruno Maisonnier – Aldebaran France, Tandy Trower - Hoaloha Robotics USA, Kyung Chul Shin – Yujin Robotics Korea, Colin Angle – iRobot USA) or experts and official representatives (Sang Rok Oh – Korea, Cheng Han Shieh – Taiwan)..for three cycles of conferences on technologies, market trends and perspectives of service robotics in general.
In 2012, the 3 days of conferences will go deeper into the most promising fields of applications with the latest technological breakthroughs in robotics presented by high end researchers, market analysis and data as well as perspectives and foresight revealed by the thinkers and doers of the industry. Attendees will learn about the changes ahead so to turn them into opportunities.
- Medical & Health robotics* from non-invasive surgery robots to assistance to the impaired and aged population through exoskeletons, body area network and rehabilitation devices, in institutions or at home,
- Robots in the city*: Smart grids, robotics sustainable development, from autonomous transport to home automation, going through city guides, ambient intelligence and intelligent distributed systems in our daily life
- Human Robot Interaction*: From our cultural distrust of robots through to the augmented human, what is our perception of robots, How do we interact with intelligent devices, what do we expect and what are we ready to accept and integrate in our life?
Innorobo cycle of conferences gathers robotics technical experts, visionaries, leaders of the industry so you can share and exchange on their experience and perspective on the evolution of the robotics industry within the next few years and decades.
Innorobo 2011 was a kick off of a long series of summits, placing European Service Robotic in focus, and reaching its goal to gather companies from the whole industry around the globe to “Touch Innovation”.
Innorobo 2012 objective is to enroll companies to “Participate to Innovation” with a new Business Convention service, organizing professional meeting schedules with people relevant to each individual business.
This first European edition was a resounding success and helped to highlight all of the players, companies, researchers, engineers, experts, ... who contribute thanks to thei development of service robotics as a major sector of growth global economic activity.
More than a hundred robots will be exhibited from international companies. About thirty of them will be presented for the first time in Europe.
“The arrival of robots in our day to day life will happen through several experiences. Constant development of their performances will make them progressively essential to us. INNOROBO enables their creators to demonstrate and explain their spectacular evolution soon to be”, declares Bruno Bonnell, President of SYROBO, the organizer of the summit.
Service robotics, far from being science fiction, has already entered our daily life. It represented in 2010 a market of 3,3 billions of dollars, which should be multiplied by thirty within 2020 to reach 100 billions of dollars (source International Federation of Robotics).
Thanks to technological progress in the areas of human-machine interface, artificial intelligence, miniaturization and geo-localization services, robotics today is fulfilling more and more important needs. Innorobo offers an exceptional opportunity to apprehend this « Robolution » and discover the most amazing robots in the following sectors:
Organized in partnership with DELOITTE.
Paris, May 10th 2011 - ROBOT MARKET FOCUS, the first international conference exploring service robotics market opportunities, will take place in Lyon March 24 from 2 to 4.30pm. Robot market focus is part of the international service robotics summit INNOROBO.
According the report by International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the service robotic market is experiencing spectacular growth and offering numerous investment opportunities. Estimated at 3.3 billion dollars in 2009, the market volume is expected to double in the three coming years and to reach 100 billion dollars in 2020.
The service robotics market includes intelligent machines that focus primarily on assisting individuals in the following sectors:
♣ Transport
♣ Security
♣ Medial assistance (surveillance, care)
♣ Education
♣ Entertainment
♣ Energy management
Market observers have noted a considerable acceleration in new start-up creation and venture development in this sector.
ROBOT MARKET FOCUS offers a chance to learn more about the challenges and opportunities facing the market. In addition to the sharing of market intelligence, the event will also facilitate the meeting of minds between leading companies and emerging start-ups.
Paris, 8 February 2011 - The ROBOLIFT conference cycle will take place from 23 to 25 March 2011 in Lyon (France) during INNOROBO, the first European summit dedicated to service robotics organized by Syrobo, the French robotics professional association.
Bruno Bonnell, Chairman of Syrobo, says: « The technological revolution of service robotics deeply impacts the social body. This transformation must come along with a reflection on the new human-machine relationship. Robolift will gather an exceptional college of international experts.....
SYROBO, French Federation of service robotics announces INNOROBO, the first international professional event dedicated to Service robotics in Lyon, France with the support of Rhône-Alpes region, Grand Lyon and Lyon Congress Centre.
South Korea and the Korean Association of Robot Industry (« KAR ») are the guests of honor of the event…
