The 2017 IEEE International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics (IEEE RCAR 2017) will take place from July 14 to 18, 2017 in Okinawa, Japan. The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for researchers in robotics and real-time computing to share the latest results and to explore the opportunity of research collaboration. With wide applications of robots in industry and services sectors, real-time computing plays one of the major roles in various topics in robotics including real-time control, human-robot interactions, sensor perception and fusion, robot intelligence, etc. The scope of IEEE RCAR 2017 covers research, development and applications in the dynamic and exciting areas of real-time computing and robotics. Okinawa is the southernmost prefecture of Japan, consisting of a few dozen, small islands. It offers beautiful beaches, rich history, and lots more and is considered to be the healthiest place in the world. IEEE RCAR 2017 promises to be a great event for all participants, with excellent technical and social programs.
