Organisations and research groups are invited to participate in the second edition of the exhibition “We and the Robots / The Robots and Us” (Nós e os Robots / Os Robots e Nós”, “Nous et les robots / Les Robots et Nous) that runs parallel to The International Conference on Robot Ethics and Safety Standards (ICRESS) which will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, on the 20-21 October, 2017. This conference aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum for discussing the most pressing safety, ethical, legal and societal issues related to the distinct contexts where robotic technology applies.

To participate as an exhibitor, please send a brief email describing what you wish to show to icress2017 at gmail.com at your earliest convenience.

Both the exhibition and the conference will take place in the Pavilion of Knowledge – Ciência Viva, the largest interactive science museum in Lisbon, located in Parque das Nações. Therefore, the exhibition will receive exposure not only to the conference attendees, but also to the general public visiting the museum.

The participation in this exhibition is free of charge. The conference organization does not provide any kind of financial support to the exhibitors.
