🚑 Robotics for early cancer diagnosis 🚑   The deployment of robotics is growing rapidly, with new applications in many different fields. Maybe one of the most promising applications is in healthcare, something that Timo van Gerwen wanted to investigate with his thesis. Congratulations, Timo! 🎉 We are excited to see our students contributing to societal challenges like this.

🧑🏼🌾📈 Farm smarter: use data! 🧑🏼🌾📈   🌱🥔 In this recently published article, Puck Mulders and colleagues show how the use of data can help farmers to optimize their potato planting. Farmers have to make many decisions, which can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Using a case study of a large potato farm in the Netherlands, the authors have successfully created an optimization model, the use of which can lead to a significant profit gain for farmers.   💡This study shows the power of combining optimization techniques, data science, and agronomic knowledge to provide farmers with practical, locally relevant guidance. It is a perfect example of the great potential of the cooperation between these different domains! A special thanks to Jacob van den Borne for sharing his data and making this research possible. 👉🏽 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eW-YkF3Z Menno van Zutphen Paul Ravensbergen Roy Cobbenhagen Edwin van den Heuvel René van de Molengraft Pytrik Reidsma Duarte Antunes Maurice Heemels

💡 This weekend, the Robocup@Home league has organized its first workshop for the participating teams!    After the successful RoboCup 2024 in Eindhoven, the teams that competed for the “best household robot” got together to share their knowledge and make plans for the coming years. They discussed newly developed technologies and provided feedback for eachother on how to improve their robots. It was the first time that such knowledge-sharing happened within the @Home competition. The soccer competition functioned as an example, as they have already held yearly workshops in previous years, leading to a fruitful exchange of ideas, software, and hardware. 🤖💭   We’re very excited about these developments and the collaborative attitude within the league and can’t wait to see the results! 🦾 Peter van Dooren Mechanical Engineering at TU/e #robotics #householdrobot #robocup

With 10 RBT members, all part of the Tech United team, at the annual 2-day RoboCup MSL workshop, where the latest developments between teams are shared and new rules are established to stimulate the development of autonomous robot soccer. Thanks to team RCT in Toulon for organising! TechUnited Eindhoven, RoboCup 2025 - Salvador, Brazil, RoboCup Federation, Eindhoven University of Technology, Robot Club Toulon

New Year's Lunch with the RBT staff! 😄 To kick off the new year, we had a nice lunch with our staff, PhDs, and PostDocs! And what better place to put the coffe tables than the RoboCup soccer field? 🤖 We're excited for the upcoming year! #robotics #rbt #tue

Robotics on television! 📺   💡 Last week, the Dutch educational TV show “Het Klokhuis” made an episode about soft robotics at TU/e. Our colleagues showed and explained some of the exciting technologies in our lab. A great way to start the year!    Check out the fun video here: https://lnkd.in/eKfFCyv2 Irene Kuling Femke van Beek Gijs van den Brandt Johannes T. B. (Bas) Overvelde

🤖 In a recent article by the Washington Post, our professor René van de Molengraft explained how ‘lazy robots’ can be important for future sustainable development in the robotics sector.    Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ea5ka3na
