The international event is focused on trends and technology for humanoids in the real world. The three-day conference, from October 15-17, features demonstrations, lectures and tours of Georgia Tech robot labs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech Assistant Professor Mike Stilman is the general chair for the conference.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis is a very exciting event both for the history of robotics worldwide and for education in engineering for all kids excited about new technology,\u201d he said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe demonstrations include Rethink Robotics\u2019 Baxter robot, NAO from Aldebaran and South Korea\u2019s Robotis.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech\u2019s Ronald Arkin, a Regents Professor in the College of Computing, is hosting one of the conference\u2019s three plenary sessions.

The week will conclude with DARPA\u2019s Robotics\u0026nbsp;Challenge (DRC) Trials Preview Meeting on Friday, October 18, which will provide further details on the DRC Trials in December.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThis is a very special year for humanoid robotics across the world,\u201d Stilman said. \u201cThe Robotics Challenge is leading robots that function as first responders to enter dangerous situations, such as Hurricane Katrina and Japan\u2019s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Humanoids with human and super-human capabilities will assist in future rescue missions, saving the lives of both disaster victims and rescue
