These days, the GRVC of the US hosts a network of excellence in robotics in which experts from 14 different countries meet to share their advances.

The Robotics, Vision and Control Group (GRVC) euROBIN from May 15 to 19 , an initiative to bring together the members of this project and share the progress made during last year by the more than 20 research groups that make it up and among which is the GRVC itself.

In addition to top-level researchers, the event brought together the most cutting-edge scientific advances and next-generation robots. From multirotors to ornithopters, humanoids or quadrupeds, these inventions can lift heavy loads or deliver objects directly through a window. Its objective is to make life easier whether at a domestic or industrial level; robots at the service of humans.

The programming for this event included a robotics hackathon, held in the GRVC testbed, and different scientific activities, such as keynote lectures and tutorials, which took place at the ETSi. This is an excellent opportunity to share and exchange the results of your research, carry out the first joint experiments in the context of the three application areas (robotic manufacturing, robots for personal use and outdoor robots) and propose new ideas and ways to contribute to the development of European robotics. During these days, activities and cultural visits have also been organized so that the project experts, from more than 25 European cities, could get to know Seville and everything it has to offer.

This event has been coordinated by the GRVC and its director, Aníbal Ollero Baturone , professor and, currently, the researcher with the most publications related to unmanned aerial vehicles and aerial robotics worldwide, has had the collaboration of other experts of the first order such as Alin Albu-Schäffer, from the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), or Bruno Siciliano, Coordinator of the PRISMA Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, among others, and has already received numerous congratulations from the European Council for the results it has achieved.

About euroBIN

The euROBIN project was born with the ambition of creating an open and very active network structure for some of the best robotics laboratories in Europe and achieving a profound scientific and technological impact based on AI. Its main purpose is to create a European ecosystem of robots that share their data and knowledge and are capable, depending on their diversity, of jointly learning to perform the infinite variety of tasks in human environments.

The basic elements that enable intense and prolific collaboration within the euROBIN network of excellence are cooperative competitions and hackathons, transferable and cognition-based embedded AI, the European robotics repository EuroCore, annual scientific workshops and science-industry dialogue or the Brain Magnet program for young researchers and scientific fellows, among others.

Its members are more than twenty research groups and entities from all over Europe such as the Robotics, Vision and Control Group (GRVC) of the University of Seville, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) , the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) , the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology of France (Inria) , the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) , the Danish Technological Institute, the Czech Technical University (CTU) , the Consorzio di Ricerca per L'energia L' automazione e le Tecnologiedell'elettromagnetismo (CREATE), Imec, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISRI), Örebro University, the French National Center for Scientific Research, the Association of the Institute Superior Técnico for Research and Development (IST-ID), the Technical University of Munich, DHL Express, Siemens or the Volkswagen Group, among others. Embodied, transferable and cognition-based Artificial Intelligence is the main objective of the euROBIN research program and the network of excellence that arises from it. From a scientific point of view, euROBIN will adopt a new and integrated perspective in the design of the future ecosystem of heterogeneous intelligent machines that interact with human beings. Therefore, euROBIN will substantially advance four fundamental scientific themes: InterAct, learning transfer, transferable knowledge, human-center transfer.
