[robocup-worldwide] 2019 IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems in Prague, July 29 - August 2 - Call for applications

[Francesco Amigoni]

Following the great success of the 2016 IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems, the MRS RAS technical committee is organising 2019 IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-school/which will be held at the campus of Czech Technical University located at the heart of the historic city of Prague.
The Summer School aims to promote the newest achievements in multi-robot systems to students, academic researchers, and industrial practitioners to enable putting systems of cooperating robots into practice. The content of the Summer School will be focused but not limited to systems of cooperating aerial vehicles. The topics addressed by well-recognised experts in the field of Multi-Robot Systems are composed to provide the participants necessary knowledge for understanding the available theory and for realisation real-world experiments with a fleet of autonomous micro aerial and ground vehicles in the last day of the Summer School.

The call for applications is now open: http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-school/apply.html
