TWS brings together leading figures in industry, academia, and government to discuss the latest developments in information systems technology.

In modern society, robots and humans are becoming increasingly integrated. Already, robots assist people in factories, hospitals and households, as well as share the roads. These collaborations raise demands for technological innovation and research to develop and enable friendly robots that can work effectively with, for and around people.
