The European Robotics Forum (#ERF2018), the most influential meeting of the robotics community in Europe, is currently being held in Tampere, Finland, 13-15 March 2018. Over 900 European robotics top experts are attending the conference. Under the theme "Robots and Us", ERF2018 covers current societal and technical themes related to the field of robotics. Interesting subjects are being discussed, including human-robot-collaboration and how robotics can improve industrial productivity and service sector operations. Researchers, engineers, managers, and a growing number of entrepreneurs, business people, and public funding officers from all over Europe come together to discuss technology push and market pull and how innovation in robotics can be accelerated.
