The 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2018) will be held for the first time in Madrid, Spain during 01-05 October 2018. qbrobotics will be present with its soft-robotics devices and with the humanoid EGO.

The second edition of the International Robotics Festival will be held in Pisa, Italy, from September 27th to October 3rd. Many topics will be debated during the event and many will be the locations involved around the city. qbrobotics will attend the conference "Co-Bots for Industry 4.0 - and above", discussing of technologies and methodologies related to robotics and advanced manufacturing for industry 4.0, which allow to introduce robots in production processes much more efficiently, making them accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. In particular, collaborative robots (co-bots) are able to interact safely with human operators, and this can make production faster and more flexible, and support man in carrying out his tasks, especially those physically more heavy and wearing, thus minimizing the risks of accidents at work. A glance will also be thrown to the future of collaborative robotics, which can potentially include different areas in addition to industry 4.0. September 29th 2018 - Leopolda Station, Pisa
