The World Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics 2024 (WRRC2024) is the first comprehensive global summit on rehabilitation robotics in China, bringing together the world's leading scientists, engineering and medical experts, industry and investment entrepreneurs and politicians to discuss rehabilitation robot technology and industrial development. The conference will be held in Shanghai from August 23 to 26, 2024, in conjunction with the International Congress on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe2024), the top international event in the field of rehabilitation engineering.
High-level organization.The conference was co-sponsored by Asian Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Alliance, China Rehabilitation Assistive Devices Association, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, sponsored by IEEE Technology, the world's largest professional technical association, and co-organized by Chinese Rehabilitation Medical Association, Chinese Society of Biomedical Engineering, China Rehabilitation Association for the Disabled, and World Rehabilitation Alliance. Jointly organized by the Rehabilitation Engineering and Industry Promotion Committee of Chinese Rehabilitation Medical Association, the Rehabilitation Equipment Committee of China Rehabilitation Assistive Devices Association, Shanghai Rehabilitation Equipment Engineering and Technology Research Center, the Engineering Research Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine Intelligent Rehabilitation of the Ministry of Education, and Shanghai Biomedical Industry Promotion Center. Professor Yu Hongliu, President-elect of Asian Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Alliance and University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, served as the chairman of the conference. The special guest of Honor of the Conference, Her Royal Highness Princess Sirindhorn of the Kingdom of Thailand, has confirmed her visit to the conference.
High position planning.Focusing on scientific frontier and industrial development, the conference focuses on the three matrices of scientific and technological empowerment, industrial ecology, and rehabilitation of the future. Focusing on intelligent rehabilitation and rehabilitation robots, technological elderly care and intelligent care robots, future rehabilitation and humanoid robots, rehabilitation technology innovation and traditional Chinese medicine intelligent rehabilitation, regenerative rehabilitation and bionic prosthetics, rehabilitation robots and standards, home rehabilitation and rehabilitation Internet of Things, intelligent barrier-free and social governance and other cutting-edge technology trends, with the theme of "Technology enables rehabilitation of the future". In line with the superposition trend of accelerating the evolution of global artificial intelligence technology, accelerating the development of the robot industry, and increasing rehabilitation demand, we adhere to the concept of technology-led, technology-driven, and technology-enabled, explore the future of rehabilitation, discuss new formats of the rehabilitation industry, plan ahead the technical nuclear explosive points for the development of the rehabilitation industry, and lay out the air points of the new track of the rehabilitation industry in advance. It aims to create a rehabilitation engineering academic summit and industrial event with more world influence, gathering elites from all walks of life in various countries to discuss rehabilitation engineering, rehabilitation robot technology and industrial development, help the aging society and create a better future.
High starting point programming.The overall structure of the conference is based on the "2+3+5" plan. That is, the 17th International Conference on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology and the first World Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics were held at the same time, setting up three sections: conference, exhibition and competition, and building five platforms for international medical and industrial cross-academic exchange, international rehabilitation robot cooperation dialogue, international rehabilitation industry achievement display, international rehabilitation innovation practice evaluation, and international rehabilitation industry ecological investment. In the forum section, the three matrices of science and technology empowerment, industrial ecology and rehabilitation future are set according to "1+2+6+50", namely, one opening ceremony and the keynote report of the conference, two theme forums of "rehabilitation engineering + rehabilitation robots", six summit forums and 50 ecological forums. In the exhibition section, the final of the Global University Student Challenge, the final of the Global rehabilitation Robot Entrepreneurship Competition and the innovation and development results of domestic and foreign industry enterprises will be displayed.
High halo blessing.The conference will gather more than 20 top international universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Imperial College London, MIT, Columbia, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and more than 50 well-known domestic universities. More than 100 heavyweight guests will be invited to attend the conference, including Academicians Zhuang Songlin, Gu Yudong and Dai Kelong of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Academician Chu Junhao of Chinese Academy of Sciences, foreign academician Gu Min of Chinese Academy of Engineering, foreign academician Li Jianan of National Academy of Medicine, foreign academician Zhang Jianwei of German National Academy of Engineering, Academician Dai Jiansheng of Royal Academy of Engineering, Robert Reiner, the father of the World Cyborg Games, a world-renowned rehabilitation robotics expert and professor of Swiss Federal Institute of Technology; Jose L. Pons, a world-renowned rehabilitation robotics expert and professor of Northwestern University; Etienne BURDET, a world-renowned rehabilitation robotics expert and professor of Imperial College London; World-renowned rehabilitation robotics expert, Professor Sunil K. Agrawal of Columbia University, the father of the world's exoskeleton robot, Professor Homayoon Kazerooni of the University of California, Berkeley, More than 30 Chinese and foreign academicians and famous experts such as Vincenzo Parenti Castelli, Academician of the European Academy of Sciences, have confirmed to attend the conference, the president of the International Society of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the chairman of the Global Assistive Technology Alliance will also attend the conference, and senior management from nearly 100 well-known industries at home and abroad will also attend the conference.
Enable high-quality development.As the most influential event in the field of rehabilitation engineering, the conference gathers more talents to exchange, more cutting-edge ideas to collide, and gives full play to the resource gathering and linking function of the international conference for academic big names, industry leaders, young talents, college teachers and students and other diverse talent echelons, to create a good environment for talent development, and to provide important talent support for industrial development. Experts from all walks of life such as government, industry, investment and universities are invited to discuss how all parties can form a joint force to attract and cultivate talents, and open up the integrated development path of innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain. The conference provides a stage for teachers, doctors, enterprises and other diverse groups, and carefully plans various forums, workshops and other activities to demonstrate vitality and passion, explore industry opportunities and challenges, and fully promote the high-quality development of the rehabilitation industry.
Create a high-quality ecology.The Conference adopts an open and inclusive attitude to strengthen dialogue and exchanges with other countries in the field of rehabilitation, build a multi-level and multi-form platform for open cooperation, create a rich rehabilitation industry ecology integrating scientific and technological innovation, application implementation, academic exchanges, talent and wisdom, and investment promotion, adhere to the global pooling of resources, promote industrial development with openness, and actively integrate into the tide of world development. To gather wisdom, the conference held more than 50 forums, leading the future direction of industrial development; In order to attract talents, more than 100 academic scholars, leading entrepreneurs, and heads of international organizations attended the conference, hoping to drive a number of innovation and entrepreneurship projects to settle in China.
