Aalesund University College at BioRob 2012

Aalesund University College's Representative at the the 4th IEEE RAS & EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob), Rome, Italy.

I am very glad to have the honor to represent our college at the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics in Rome. I think this is a very big opportunity to promote our college and to share our work with the scientific community. Moreover, for me it is a quite special occasion, since this conference is held in Italy which is my own country. The following paper has been presented:

• Filippo Sanfilippo, Gionata Salvietti, Houxiang Zhang, Hans Petter Hildre and Domenico Prattichizzo. Efficient modular grasping: An iterative approach. In Proceedings of the 4th IEEE RAS & EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob), Rome, Italy. 2012, 1281–1286.
