NOTICE: Abstract deadline extended to February 20
Dear Colleagues,
The second International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS) is held from 17-21 July 2017 in Montréal, Canada http://marss-conference.org/. General Chair: Sylvain Martel (CA), Program Chairs: Fumihito Arai (JP), Dave Cappelleri (US), and Antoine Ferreira (FR). This recently-established annual conference is managed by a high-level Steering Committee and technically supported by IEEE-RAS and IEEE-NTC. The Steering Committee has the ambition to develop MARSS to the flagship event for cross-disciplinary R&D communities to discuss current activities in all areas related to manipulation and automation (including measurement and characterization) at micro & nano scales, and in all kinds of small scale robots and their applications.
We cordially invite you to attend and contribute to the conference http://marss-conference.org/download/MARSS2017_Call-for-Papers.pdf. The conference offers 5-6 keynote talks, about 20 plenary talks and parallel sessions (oral presentations only).
