The Robotic Industries Association (RIA), Ann Arbor, Mich., will hold a Collaborative Robots Workshop on Wednesday, April 16, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Collaborative robots are robots that work side-by-side with humans.

Dr. Henrik Christensen of Georgia Tech will give the opening keynote talk. Representatives from companies such as Rethink Robotics, Universal Robots, Yaskawa Motoman, Kuka, and iRobot also will give presentations on the current status and future of the field. Top robotics researchers from MIT, NIST, and Carnegie Mellon will discuss research issues.

All attendees will receive free admission to The Vision Show, a vision and imaging event being held April 14-16 at the Hynes Convention Center.
