Bielefeld University participated at the 4th International Trade Fair for Automation and Mechatronics in Munich for the first time. Both CoR-Lab and CITEC presented many different exhibits of the cutting edge field Interactive Intelligent Systems to an international public at their stands in Hall A2. Their stands' features included the vitual agent VINCE, the anthropromorphic robot head Flobi, Bielefeld's mobile robot platform BIRON and the new CoR-Lab project FlexIRob.

On the last day of the fair two groups of school students from Germany caught up on the education at the technical faculty at Bielefeld University.

19. - 23. April Hannover Messe 2010: CoR-Lab presented together with CITEC "Interactive Intelligent Systems at Bielefeld University" at the international industry fair in Hanover. During the partner country Italy of this year not only the Light Weight Robot from KUKA Roboter was exhibited at the stand of Bielefeld University, but also an interactive exhibit on innovative drives was presented. The Instituto Italiano Di Technologia (IIT) in Genua develops it in the context of the cooperative EU-project AMARSi (Adaptive Modular Architectures for Rich Motor Skills). The stand was located at the common stand of the innovation network OWL in mechanical engineering (OWL Maschinenbau e. V.) at Hall 16, Stand A04.

The Mayor of Bielefeld Mr. Pit Clausen (on the right in this picture) and the Minister for Economics Affairs and Energy of the State of North-Rhine-Westphalia Mrs. Christa Thoben visited our stand and inquired about the advances in that high techology field.

Yesterday, the 4th November 2009, a compliant robot of the next generation started the regionally fair Forum Maschinenbau (FMB) in Bad Salzuflen. The Light Weight Robot LBR from KUKA Roboter is one of the platforms at the Research Institute for Cognition and Robotics (CoR-Lab) at Bielefeld University.

4. - 6. November 2009 CoR-Lab will be at the action area of the innovation network OWL in mechanical engineering in Hall 23.1 at the Forum Maschinenbau (FMB) in Bad Salzuflen.

On the opening day at FMB there will be the first SME Automation and Robotics Congress with the closing discussion at 5:30 p.m. about challenges, solutions and trends including Prof. Dr. Jochen J. Steil (Managing Director CoR-Lab).

A cooperation event with the Chamber of Trade of East-Westphalia and Lippe in the frame of the program solutions from OWL Marketing GmbH. It takes place on 27th October 2009 at Kreishaus Gütersloh. Speaker: Prof. Dr. Jochen J. Steil.

With CoR-Lab and CITEC, both are high-profile research institutions dedicated to make cognitive interaction between humans ans machines a reality, 'intelligent systems at Bielefeld University' were presented at the stand of the innovation network OWL Maschinenbau e. V. in Hannover. Many visitors came to the stand and asked for the activities of that important research field.

During a visit at HANNOVER MESSE the Minister for Economics Affairs and Energy of the State of North-Rhine-Westphalia Mrs. Christa Thoben inquired about the current conditions. One aspect for her visit was the campaign 'WE LOVE THE NEW KNOWLEDGE', where CoR-Lab is represented with two doctoral candidates at Bielefeld University and two ASIMOs. 

20. - 24. April "Hannover Messe 2009": CoR-Lab und CITEC participate as best practise examples for "Intelligent Systems at Bielefeld University" with the slogan "Initiative Innovation und Wissen" by OWL Marketing GmbH at the stand of the innovation network OWL in mechanical engineering (OWL Maschinenbau e. V.) at Hall 16 Stand A04.
