FIRA Robot World Congress (http://www.firacongress.net)
2002 FIRA Robot World Congress, organized by Korea Robot Soccer
Association (KRSA) was held in Seoul, Korea from May 26 to
29, 2002. The aim of the Congress is to promote research and
educational activities related to robotics fields in general
by providing an opportunity to discuss technical problems,
exchange views on future prospects on robotics and build cooperative
friendship with colleagues.
Before 2002, FIRA Robot World Cup was held with a Workshop
on Soccer Robotics. But in 2002, as the inaugural year of
the congress, it was received great attention from the robotics
research groups from 27 countries all over the world. The
record of 164 paper presentations selected through the review
process, 3 plenary talks and 3 invited talks marked the continuous
growth of this congress in the future.
