Robotics in the 21st Century: New Frontiers
IEEE International Colloquium Dedicated to the 85th Birthday of Antal K. Bejczy
Welcome message
Óbuda University welcomes Prof. Bejczy on his 85th birthday with the opening of a new exhibition “Father of Space Robotics”, an International Colloquium and several other programs in early 2015. These are to present and popularize the life and work of Prof. Bejczy and the Óbuda University IROB Center.
Prof. Dr. Antal (Tony) Bejczy physicist, lead engineer of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, professor at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), professor of Washington University in St. Louis, outstanding personal of the international space research and robotics, was born in Sinatelep, Ercsi county January 16, 1930.
Objectives
Honoring Prof. Bejczy’s contribution to modern robotics, the newly established IROB Robotics Center at Óbuda University took his name in 2012. The Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics (IROB) is devoted to promote the scientific and technological advancement of robotics, primarily for service applications. Within that, the IROB organizes major international meetings and conferences to promote the field, as a primary reply to the rising demand of R&D-integrated education and application-oriented development in robotics. The main objectives of the event are to promote technical and scientific achievements of the region among students and young scientist, create a forum for international technical education, dissemination of excellence and the presentation of main research topics of the CELLI network (Central European Living Lab for Intelligent Robotics).
Scope
The topics of the event will include several scientific and informative programs, which will offer knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities to everyone interested in robotics. In the scope of the event, the International Colloquium named “Robotics in the XXI. Century: New Frontiers” will be dedicated to the 85th birthday of Prof. Bejczy. Topical, moderated round-table discussions will be organized, involving the most renowned scientists of the field. New contributions are anticipated in the form of poster presentation.
