The Geriatronics-Summit aims to bring to light the current and envisioned robotic solutions in the context of Geriatronics1 and to raise awareness among policy-makers with respect to corresponding technology. The event aims at addressing the following questions:
- How to address through Geriatronics the increasing shortage and geographic disparities of care providers and the overburdened health care?
- How robotics and AI can enhance independence, mobility, self-determination, and health for the elderly for as long as possible?
- What are the rules of autonomy? How to address moral, ethical and cultural, and/or personal challenges and dilemmas for Geriatronics?
1. Geriatronics refers to the use of robotics, mechatronics and information technology, in particular machine intelligence and 3D technology, in geriatrics, gerontology and in the medical care of elderly people for optimal support and for the maintenance and improvement of self-determination in old age.

Call for Papers
We invite early-career researchers and the robotics, AI, regulation and Geriatronics community to submit an extended abstract (2 to 3 pages in IEEE Conf format with 2 columns) to geriatronik@mirmi.tum.de with the subject: “[Geriatronics-Summit][Paper Submission] Title of the paper“
We will especially encourage women and young researchers participation, in order to support gender balance in robotics and the promotion of early-career researchers to present themselves to the community.
After a light review, authors of accepted manuscripts will be invited to give a pitch of their work to everyone in the venue (single-track). The talks will be accompanied by posters during an interactive session.
GARMI Best Student Short-Paper Award – Powered by Vodafone:
The award for the best extended abstract will reflect both the quality of the document, as well as the quality of the presentation and the poster interaction.
An Awardee committee will decide the winner!
Get ready and prepare your best work!
We are also very happy to announce that Vodafone also offered a 250 € cash award for the winner!!!
