Report on EFE’s website including interview to Concha Monje.

Carlos Balaguer was iinterviewed in the framework of the agreement between CEA, chaired by him, and the mathematical society.

Starting on October 1st, 2020, WeLASER aims to avoid the use of chemical products in the removal of weeds in agriculture by developing a new robotic system that uses a laser source for destroying weeds (cordis).

In the context of the world growing population and higher needs of reducing the uses of pesticides and fertilizers, WeLASER seeks more sustainable management. Mechanical solutions contribute to deteriorate soil properties, harm beneficial soil organisms and provide poor results for intra-row weeding. However, the WeLASER solution focuses on non-chemical weed management based on applying lethal

Today a meeting was held with the coordinators and various members of the Madrid digital innovation hub DIH bio. It was attended by some of the members of RoboCity2030 who have interests in areas of health. The participants from our consortium were: Carlos Balaguer, Miguel Ángel Salichs, Luis Moreno, Alberto Jardón, Eduardo Silles, Elena García, Cecilia García, Alberto Brunete. In this first meeting of scientific-technical content, the various lines of research of the groups have been shown with the aim of identifying lines of collaboration between DIH bio and our

A new EU project (in which Robotics Lab UC3M is participating) has been recently launched. The aim of the EU-funded ALMA project is to leverage AML properties to develop a new generation of interactive, human-centric machine learning systems. These systems are expected to reduce bias and prevent discrimination, remember what they know when they are taught something new, facilitate trust and reliability and integrate complex ethical constraints into human–artificial intelligence systems. Furthermore, they are expected to promote distributed, collaborative learning.

RoboCity2030 consortium has been extended by the program de Ayudas para la Realización de Programas de Actividades de I+D entre Grupos de Investigacion de la Comunidad de Madrid en Tecnologías co-funded by Structural Funds from the European Union. The program acronym is RoboCity2030-DIH-CM and the official code is S2018/NMT-4331.

Recently the Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) has presented its awards. In them Antonio Artuñedo (CSIC) has obtained the prize to the best doctoral thesis in the area. Javier del Egido (RobeSafe-UAH) won the first prize for the best end-of-degree work and Juan Felipe Arango (RobeSafe-UAH) was a finalist in this category.
