It will be co-located with the 42nd annual International Symposium on Robotics, with ProMat 2011 also located in the same facility. Two days later InnoRobo opens in Lyon, France. Then, on April 6th, the EU Robotics Forum opens in Sweden, immediately after which we return to the U.S. for National Robotics Week, followed in late April by the FIRST Championships.
