Gesundheit, VERANSTALTUNGEN |

Would you like to discuss with roboticists and AI law specialists technological solutions for the Future of Health? Join the Geriatronics Summit which will be held on June 20 and June 21 at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany. Please register to participate and/or submit a contribution before June 08.

The Geriatronics-Summit aims to bring to light the current and envisioned robotics solutions to the following problems:

  • How to address through Geriatronics the increasing shortage and geographic disparities of care providers and the overburdened health care?
  • How robotics and AI can enhance independence, mobility, self-determination, and health for the elderly for as long as possible?
  • What are the rules of autonomy? How to address moral, ethical and cultural, and/or personal challenges and dilemmas for Geriatronics?

Submission Instructions


We invite early-career researchers and the robotics, AI, regulation and Geriatronics community to submit an extended abstract (2 to 3 pages in IEEE Conf format with 2 columns) to geriatronik@mirmi.tum.de with the subject: “[Geriatronics-Summit][Paper Submission] Title of the paper“
We will especially encourage women and young researchers participation, in order to support gender balance in robotics and the promotion of early-career researchers to present themselves to the community.
Best Student Short-Paper Award: We are currently preparing an award for the best extended abstract paper/presentation! Get ready and prepare your best work!
