IEEE-RAS / IFRR School of Robotics Science (SRS)

Aims

Providing a selected number of robotics students and young researchers with an educational opportunity of the highest scientific level, which shall represent a fundamental milestone in their careers and will enable them to feed and grow their potential to become the top robotics scientists world-wide.

The focus on robotics research of the IFRR, combined with the large membership and qualified experience in education of the IEEE-RAS, provides a unique opportunity for a full coverage of the robotics community, in terms of theoretical and experimental topics, researchers, and geographical spreading.
