TePRA 2008 IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Practical Robot Applications (C)

10-12 November

Massachusetts, USA

TePRA is a new conference aimed at catalyzing the development of enabling technologies and encouraging their adoption by robot designers. TePRA is positioned mid-way between an academic conference and a trade show. More so than academic conferences, TePRA emphasizes practical applications and industrial participation. More so than trade shows, TePRA has a serious review process, and is targeted at future applications.
