Dear ROS Community,

We invite you to attend the RSS 2014 Workshop: Next-Generation Robotics: Academia, Start-ups and Industry. Several of the companies in this workshop use ROS so we expect it to be of interest to the ROS community.

The workshop program includes talks from industry and academic leaders who will present their vision for future robotics applications in the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, surgical and other sectors. The workshop will also feature talks from key people in the hottest current startups in Robotics giving RSS workshop attendees, for the first time, the opportunity to hear first-hand the stories of how startups are formed and grow. This is a chance for attendees to share the excitement surrounding Robotics and its applications in industry and we look forward to seeing you all there.
