Organization

SSR-2018 is jointly organized by two Horizon 2020 EU projects which are training programs with a special focus on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI).

The SECURE project https://www.secure-robots.eu/ aims to incorporate intelligent safety awareness into dynamic and unpredictable human or domestic environments and into interactions with robots.

The SOCRATES project http://www.socrates-project.eu/ has the goal of developing the field of social robotics with an application focus on robotics for an aging population.
