Content Foreword

Robotics technologies are in an active process of convergence towards innovative solutions with great benefit for all mankind. We roboticists are at the forefront of this development, combining Industry 4.0 and AI trends with established use cases from the industry. Robots are increasingly taking over dangerous, dull or painful tasks Recent years have shown many interesting developments that can be published at the ISR, making it the ideal platform for presenting your research results to the community.

The 56th International Symposium on Robotics - ISR Europe 2023 will be held in Stuttgart, Germany on September 26 to 27, 2023. This international conference is jointly organized by the Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) and the Information Technology Society (ITG) within the VDE. ISR Europe 2023 takes place in a new format without the automatica exhibition this year.
Die ITG ist als interdisziplinär arbeitende, wissenschaftliche Fachgesellschaft in das fachübergreifende Netzwerk des VDE eingebunden. Sie agiert als Schnittstelle für Experten der Informationstechnik (ITK) in Wirtschaft, Verwaltung, Lehre und Forschung. Ihre Mitglieder bündeln in enger internationaler Anbindung die deutsche Kompetenz im Bereich der ITK. Die ITG fördert Forschung und Anwendung dieser Schlüsseltechnologie sowie deren effizienten Einsatz in den Bereichen Daten- und Kommunikationstechnik und -systeme, Umweltschutz, Medizin und Verkehr.
