The 6th Annual IEEE International Conference on Technologies for Practical Robot Applications (TePRA) will be held in the Greater Boston Area, Massachusetts, USA on April 14-15, 2014. With an emphasis on practical applications and industrial participation, TePRA provides researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs and robotics professionals with a balanced forum in robotics science, engineering and technology. The presentations selected through IEEE's rigorous peer-review process highlights new uses of algorithms, components, and whole systems in practical robot applications.

Past TePRA conferences featured leaders in the field as keynote speakers including Colin Angle (iRobot), Kevin Blankespoor (Boston Dynamics), Henrik Christensen (Georgia Tech), Helen Greiner (CyPhy Works), Rob Maline (JGRE),Mark Micire (NASA), Mick Mountz (Kiva), Jorgen Pedersen (RE2), Gill Pratt (DARPA), Hanu Singh (WHOI), Mike Rufo (Boston Engineering), Tom Ryden (Vgo Communications), Eddie Tunstel (John Hopkins). As an emerging robotics conference, past TePRA programs included more than 180 technical paper and poster presentations combined, robot demonstrations, student competitions, panel sessions and exhibits.
