The internationally trend-setting Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) will be held in Freiburg from June 22-26, 2019. After taking place in well-known localities like the MIT and Berkeley, Cluster-speaker Prof. Dr. Wolfram Burgard could convince the organisational committee that the black forest capital would portray a proper scene for the conference: „It is a great honor and compliment for Freiburg robotics and computer science as well as the BrainLinks-BrainTools cluster to be host of the RSS.“ In addition to professional aspects the decision also involved logistic factors: Freiburg provides an excellent infrastructure and is easy to reach from Europe’s most important transport hubs.
