ERF 2025: Deadline Extension Due to the many requests we have decided to extend the submission deadline for research papers for the European Robotics Forum 2025. The new deadline is 1 November 2024 (11:59 PM CET). #erf2025 #ai #robotics

Never stop researching: Introducing the MAESTRI project! 🦾    Prensilia is proud to be part of the MAESTRI project, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) initiative which brings together universities and companies to train the new kind of experts in the emerging domain of magnetic soft robotics.  Within this collaboration, Prensilia will host a PhD to work on the development of a robotic hand capable of adjusting local stiffness through an externally applied magnetic field! If this sounds peculiar don’t worry, it's just the marvels of science in action! 😂     #research #science #project #horizon #MSCA #EU #European #funding #robotics #robotichand #Prensilia #grasping #innovation    MAESTRI is funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe research and innovation programm (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - Doctoral Networks, Grant agreement #101119614). 

Odense hosts #WeekofRobotics 🤖 Never before have so many international roboticists gathered in the City of Odense at the same time! 🌍 C-level executives, scientists, investors, engineers, and students from around the World will converge on the World’s Leading Robotics City from October 20-26th for the #WeekofRobotics 🚀 But why is this happening? For the first time, ROSCON is visiting Scandinavia. Over 1,000 delegates, with more than 60% from outside Europe, will gather at Odeon, where local companies like Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots will play a dominent role alongside dozens of international partners such as Intel Corporation, Otto Rockwoll Automation, LG Electronics and many more. Afterwards, Odeon will host the 16th edition of the International Conference on Social Robotics, focusing on the brightest minds and technology in social robotics with powerful partners such as euRobotics aisbl, Furhat Robotics, navel Gmbh, Honda Reserach institute GmBh and more. Also happening this week, the German Fraunhofer Gesselschaft and Teknologisk Institut are hosting the ROS Industrial Conference in Odense. All robotics eyes are on Odense at #WeekofRobotics 👀 We are excited to welcome all participants and see the entire city buzzing with robots. #robotics #ROS #roboticsconference

We're thrilled to announce that Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio is this year's recipient of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Alan T. Waterman Award. This marks a remarkable achievement as she becomes the first Yale engineer to be honored with the nation's highest accolade for an early-career scientist or engineer. Kramer-Bottiglio's transformative work in robotics challenges the traditional boundaries of the field by developing robots with the capacity to adapt and evolve in real-time to their surroundings, drawing inspiration from the resilience and versatility of biological life. With the $1 million award to advance her research, Kramer-Bottiglio is set to deepen the integration of multifunctional materials into robotics, potentially revolutionizing the future capabilities of robots. https://loom.ly/n_OIZI8 #YaleEngineering #WatermanAward #NSF # #Innovation #Robotics #RoboticsforHumanity #MechanicalEngineering #MaterialsScience #Yale #YaleUniversity #Engineering

ACENTAURI team is thrilled to announce the arrival of Professor Rafael Murrieta-Cid ! 🌟 Professor Murrieta, from Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT), is joining the team as visiting researcher to work on his project on robot motion planning with sensory feedback and learning. His research focus on improving sampling-based motion planners, which are known to be the most efficient techniques for finding collision-free trajectories for complex robotics systems in environments with obstacles. However, those methods assume a known and static map and they don't offer trajectory correction online. To overcome these limitations, Professor Murrieta is investigating a joint approach including visual servoing, also including sensor feedback to release the constraint of an already known environment. Additionally, he will explore the possibility of merging that approach with learning-based techniques. It is an honor to welcome Professor Murrieta and to share our knowledge reciprocally to push the boundary of robotics together. If you want to join as well the team or you need more information, please visit our website https://lnkd.in/eJmhTJca. #Research #Robotics #MotionPlanning #VisualServoing

I am happy to share that my paper, "Optimized Decentralized Swarm Communication Algorithms for Efficient Task Allocation and Power Consumption in Swarm Robotics", has been published in the Robotics journal by MDPI with an impact factor of 3.7 and a 5.9 CiteScore (Q1). This publication is the culmination of a challenging journey with lots of obstacles. I owe many thanks to my supervisors Prof. Ossama Ismail and Dr. Omar Shalash who paved the way for reaching this milestone. And special thanks to Omar Shalash who spent countless late nights helping me with my manuscript and with figuring out LaTeX. 😃 You can access the paper by following this link: https://lnkd.in/dJmh5d-i #MDPI
