Al\u00edcia Casals is also president of the Science and Technology section of the Institute for Catalan Studies. She has been vice-president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society<\/a> and president of the Technical Committee on Biorobotics of the same organisation. In 2014, she was included in the list of 25 women in robotics you need to know about<\/em>, on the Robohub<\/a> platform. 

Among other awards, she has received the Narc\u00eds Monturiol Medal for scientific and technological merit from the Government of Catalonia in 1998, the City of Barcelona Award in 1996 and the Barcelona International Technology Prize 92.

The Night of Robotics is the leading event in a strategic sector for Catalan industry, bringing together almost a hundred companies that work in this field. It is organised by the Industry 4.0 Committee<\/strong>, which is comprised of members of the associations of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia<\/a>, Agricultural Engineers of Catalonia<\/a>, Civil Engineers of Catalonia<\/a>, Computer Engineers of Catalonia<\/a> and the Catalan Association of Telecommunication Engineers<\/a>.

The fifth edition of the event was held on 24 October in the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site, Barcelona. Participants at the event included the Catalan minister of Enterprise and Knowledge, \u00c0ngels Chac\u00f3n<\/strong>, who highlighted the strength of the robotics sector in Catalonia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
