Access to Talent Program at IROS2017
This year, after a successful previous ICRA round, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society organizes an Access to Talent Program in conjunction with IEEE/RJS IROS2017. The IROS exhibition is targeted at the robotics industry, providing an excellent opportunity for employers to showcase their company and to conduct on site interviews with prospective employees.
The Access to Talent Program is a joint initiative of the Industrial Activities Board and the Electronic Products and Services Board of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. It includes two activities:
