| ABOUT THE WORKSHOP | The 2009 IFAC Bio-Robotics IV Workshop, September 10-11, I Hotel and Conference Center, Champaign, Illinois, USA, will bring together researchers and professionals interested in automation, robotics, information technology, and intelligent controls used in bioproduction systems. Attendees will be able to share ideas, theories, techniques, challenges, and concerns with peers and expand their professional networks worldwide. They will also have the opportunity to visit the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the world’s premier higher education institutions, where much research in cutting-edge technologies involving robotics is conducted. The workshop is open to researchers and engineers from all over the world. The intent of the organizers is that participants will exchange information about trends in fundamental robotic technologies and highlight the use of robotic equipment for food, fiber, and fuel production on open-field farming, in environmentally controlled greenhouse facilities, postharvest processing plants, and space-based environments.
