HOTEL ACCOMMODATION for the IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation
Robotics (IEEE ICORR2005) IS FILLING-UP.
With little more than a month to go we urge ICORR 2005 attendees to make
sure they have registered for ICORR 2005
(http://www.smpp.northwestern.edu/icorr2005/registration.htm)
and to make that their accommodations are taken care of
(http://www.smpp.northwestern.edu/ICORR2005/accommodations.htm).
ICORR 2005 is taking place immediately prior to the 4th July Weekend, which
in the USA is a national holiday - a lot of families include the 4th of
July weekend in their vacation plans. Consequently Hotel space in Chicago
at this time is at a premium and is going fast.
We also wish to remind potential attendees that ICORR 2005 has also been
approved for Continuing Education Credits for Physical Therapists,
Occupational Therapists and for Medical Doctors Please refer to the website
for more details.
We encourage potential attendees to register. Students, disabled
investigators, women, minorities and users of these technologies are
particularly encouraged to participate..
Being a IEEE sponsored conference accepted paper will be indexed in the IEEE
explore database.

ICORR 2005 is an international conference for those individuals interested

Paolo Dario, Pisa, Italy
John Hollerbach, Salt Lake City, Utah
Andrew Schwartz, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Themes include:
Assistive Robotics,
Therapeutic Robotics,
Human-machine interface for rehabilitation,
Biorobotics and Biomimetics,
Robotics in prosthetics and exoskeletal orthotics,
Hardware & control developments for rehabilitation,
Evaluation Methods and Clinical Experience,
Basic Science and Sensory/Motor Control Learning
The program consists of a various number of mini-symposia with oral
presentations and poster sessions. Participants are invited to submit papers
for peer review on the subjects of interest. Instructions will be sent with
the second announcement and will be available soon at the official website.
The language of the Congress is English.
HOSTS:
ICORR 2005 is hosted by the Sensory Motor Performance Program of the
Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and Northwestern University.
LOCATION AND VENUE:
ICORR 2005 will take place in the heart of Chicago's luxurious Magnificent
Mile district on the shores of Lake Michigan. The timing of ICORR should
allow participants to travel directly from RESNA, in Atlanta - June 23-27,
