<span lang="EN-US">The 2nd International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA2013) will take place in Denver, USA on December 18 - 20, 2013. The 15th International Robot Olympiad (IRO) will be held in conjunction with the conference. We invite scientists, engineers, educators and students to submit contributions to the conference to discuss robot intelligence technology and applications. The intelligence technology (IT) features thinking and feeling robots that are recognized as an enabler for many human capacities. IT makes artificial creatures smarter. You will discover incremental innovation of IT at RiTA2013 in Denver.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
