RoboSoft: Software Engineering for Robotics

London, 13-14 November 2019

RoboSoft was a two-day event to bring together researchers representing groups working on themes relevant for Software Engineering for Robotics, developers working on the next generation of robotic systems in various areas of application, and regulation authorities interested in the safety of robotic systems.

It provided a platform to establish Software Engineering for Robotics as an important discipline in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. The objective was to establish a common understanding of the challenges that need to be faced to ensure that results are relevant to industrial practice and regulation.
