In collaboration with:

The Austrian Robotics Workshop and OAGM Workshop will take place from May 9-10, 2019 in Steyr. The workshops are organized by two independent groups. 

• OAGM addresses image processing, and computer vision
• ARW (Austrian Robotics Workshop) addresses robots and automation, human-machine collaboration.

The Austrian Robotics Workshop aims to bring together researchers, experts and practitioners working on various robotics topics to discuss current developments and challenges in robotics and its applications. The new edition in Steyr is primarily aimed at robotics competence in the production area.

The OAGM workshop provides a platform for presentation and discussion of research progress as well as current projects with the OAGM/AAPR community.

The programme includes four invited talks, oral  and poster presentations of reviewed contributions in plenum and parallel sessions. This will provide opportunities to share ideas and discuss technical details.

Invited Talks are:

• Horst Bischof, TU Graz
• Jiří Matas, Center for Machine Perception, Czech Technical University in Prague
• Alin Albu-Schäffer, German Aerospace Center (DLR)
• Manfred Tscheligi, AIT
