AEROARMS participation in ICRA 2017

AEROARMS in ICRA 2017

AEROARMS team was present in the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), which was held in Singapore, May 29-June 3, 2017. The venue for ICRA 2017 was the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore.

AEROARMS had a successful participation in ICRA 2017 with presentations, paper contributions and an active role in the organization of a workshop.
