Special Note

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend Bob Lynch. He will be truly missed and we will include him in our daily prayers. Please also read the Obituary.

When will MFI be held?

19 - 21 September 2016, Monday to Wednesday

First day (Sept. 19) will be tutorials. Second and third day (Sept. 20 & 21) is the regular conference. Welcome reception is in the evening of the first day, Sept. 19. Banquet is on the evening of the second day, Sept. 20.

Location

Baden-Baden is a very nice location for MFI 2016 (MFI 2001 was already held there) and turned out to be more affordable in terms of venue than Heidelberg.

Topics:

Theme:

Taking Multi-Sensor Fusion to the Next Level: From Theory to Applications

Theory:

Probability theory, Bayesian inference, nonlinear estimation, Dempster-Shafer, fuzzy sets, logic, machine learning, neural networks, distributed architectures

Sensors:

RGB cameras, depth cameras, radar and sonar devices, laser scanner, infrared sensors, IMU, gyroscopes

Algorithms for:

Tracking and localization, SLAM, perception, AI in robotics, cognitive systems, sensor registration, big data, sensor management, distributed sensor systems, recognition, visual servoing, learning by demonstration

Applications:

Sensor networks, multi-robot systems, distributed and cloud robotics, bio-inspired systems, service robots, automation, biomedical applications, autonomous vehicles (land, sea, air), manipulation planning and control, multifinger hands, micro/nano systems, surveillance, multimodal interface and human robot interaction, navigation, Internet-of-Things, smart cities, cyber-physical systems, Industry 4.0, search/rescue/audition, field robotics, swarm robotics, force and tactile sensing, surgical robotics, humanoids, soft-bodied robots
