RA 2007 RA 2007 will take place from August 29 - 31, 2007. Location Considered the capital of Lower Franconia, Würzburg, Germany, dates back to 1000 B.C. The Fortress Marienburg, the city's most prominent landmark, was an ancient Celtic stronghold. Since then, Würzburg has evolved into an artistic and religious centre for the region, boasting the Romanesque St. Kilian's cathedral and the renowned Würzburg residence, a UNESCO cultural treasure. RA 2007 Robotics and Applications (RA 2007) will be an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in robotics and the broad range of its applications. Specific emphasis will also be placed on telerobotics, which is receiving increased attention due to the tremendous progress in telecommunication and data processing technologies. RA 2007 is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research in robotics technologies, robotics applications, and telerobotics and telematics. Conference Chair Prof. Dr. Klaus Schilling is Professor and Chair of the Robotics and Telematics department at the Julius-Maximilians University of Würzburg, Germany. He is also Consulting Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, USA, and Director of the ARS - Steinbeis Centre for Computer Science. Prof. Dr. Schilling's research interests include telematic methods, mechatronic systems, multi-modal man-machine interfaces, and autonomous control strategies. Local Organizer Florian Zeiger is a research assistant in the department of Robotics and Telematics, under Prof. Dr. Schilling, at the Julius-Maximilians University of Würzburg, Germany.
