Keynote
Model-Based Adaptation and Learning for Robotic Systems
Raffaello D'Andrea, ETH Zürich, Switzerland and Co-Founder of Kiva Systems

Biography
Raffaello D'Andrea is professor of Dynamic Systems and Control at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. He also is a co-founder of Kiva Systems, a company that develops adaptive and self-configuring warehouse automation systems using hundreds of networked, mobile robots. He was the faculty advisor and system architect of the Cornell Robot Soccer Team, four-time world champions at the international RoboCup competition in Sweden, Australia, Italy, and Japan. A creator of dynamic sculpture, he has exhibited his work at various international venues, including the Venice Biennale, Ars Electronica, the Smithsonian, and the Spoleto Festival. In addition, his work is in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the FRAC Centre in France, and the Heinz Nixdorf Museum in Germany. D'Andrea is a recipient of the Invention and Entrepreneurship in Robotics and Automation Award, the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering, the National Science Foundation Career Award, and best paper awards from the American Automatic Control Council, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the International Federation of Automatic Control.

Zürich, Switzerland

Zürich, the largest city in Switzerland, is located at the northwestern tip of Lake Zürich. While the municipality itself has approximately 380,500 inhabitants, the Zürich metropolitan area is an urbanised area with a population of nearly 2 million inhabitants. Zürich is a central European hub for railways, roads, and air traffic.

Zürich is one of the most livable cities and among the world's largest financial centres. Several surveys from 2006 to 2008, named Zürich the city with the best quality of life in the world. Zürich hosts many research and development centres because of low tax rates and because several surveys named Zürich the city with the best quality of life in the world.
