EMBC 2019

41st Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, EMBC 2019 July 2019

The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society is pleased to announce the 41st International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference, to be held in Berlin, Germany from July 23–27, 2019.

The overarching theme is “Biomedical engineering ranging from wellness to intensive care”.

The scientific tracks will cover the standard topics of the EMBS technical committees. Beside the scientific sessions, the congress exhibition will show biomedical companies, start-ups, biomedical institutes, universities, and provide networking opportunities for engineers, clinicians, other scientists, entrepreneurs and students.

Cutting-edge research and innovation in biomedical engineering, healthcare technology and medical informatics will all be covered in this large conference.

The flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, ICRA will bring together the world’s top researchers and most important companies to share ideas and advances in our field.  Many of the most important developments in robotics and automation have historically been first exposed at ICRA, and 2019 will take this trend one step further. As the practical and socio-economic impact of our field continues to expand, the role of industry-centered activities has grown and will be a critical aspect of the meeting.

IECON is the flagship annual conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES), focusing on industrial and manufacturing theory and applications of controls, communications, instrumentation, electronics, and computational intelligence.

This year’s IECON is brings a selection of over 1,000 papers, a record-breaking number of papers and attendees of all IECON conferences held in U.S. Papers were topically accepted through 15 technical tracks and 60 special sessions.

A plethora of activities include keynotes, tutorials, panels, and number of one or several day activities.

Riccardo Muradore from the Deptartment of Computer Science of the University of Verona (Italy) presented the Paper “An energy saving approach to active object recognition and localization” during the session: SS01 – Oral Session: Machine Vision, Control, And Navigation

Authors: Andrea Roberti, Riccardo Muradore, Paolo Fiorini, Marco Cristani, Francesco Setti
