Mobile Robotics
Safety-Critical Applications & Machinery
The conference focuses on the latest developments in safety-critical mobile robotics, especially ground vehicles and mobile robots. A particular focus lies on the deployment of safety-critical autonomy in realworld, constrained environments, including the transfer of approaches between off-highway and defense applications. It covers dual-use applications in sectors including construction, agriculture, mining, logistics, surveillance and defense, with a strong focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence and functional safety.
The event brings together research institutes, technology startups, industry developers and public stakeholders to discuss topics such as algorithms and AI models, systems and product engineering, use cases, pilots and safety.
We warmly invite you to contribute to the conference program by delivering a technical presentation. Submit your abstract on one of the listed focus topics and help shape the program. We look forward to receiving your submission!
