WeLASER is a H2020 EU project coordinated by CSIC group. WeLASER aims to merge current technologies to build, assess and push into the market a precision weeding system based on high-power laser sources and autonomous mobile systems with the main objective of eliminating the use of herbicides while improving productivity and competitiveness.

You can watch dozens of videos on the project’s Youtube channel.

GR-EX, organiser together with IFEMA of the Global Robot Expo, is leading the ROBOT-CAM project, funded by the Dirección General de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica of the Community of Madrid, which integrates RoboCity2030 and some of the most prominent associations in the innovative sectors of the event, such as HispaRob AER and AEPIA. Thanks to this project, the event will boost technological innovation and promote technology transfer to the productive sector.

Recently the webpage of the COMPANION-CM project has been launched:

COMPANION-CM, led by Robotics Lab UC3M, is a synergistic project funded by the “Comunidad de Madrid”, with reference Y2020/NMT-6660, in the framework of the 2020 call for synergistic R&D interdisciplinary projects in new and emerging scientific areas at the frontier of science.

The proposal to HorizontEurope “CoreSense: A Hybrid Cognitive Architecture for Deep Understanding” has been recently accepted. The ROB-URJC is member of the consortium.

IARX2022, Ibero-American Robotic Rehabilitation Symposium
With the aim of closing gaps at the Ibero-American level in the use of robotic technology in healthcare, LatamnovaTECH is organising IARX2022 Ibero-American Symposium on Robotic Rehabilitation, which will be held from 23-26 May 2022, via free streaming.

Currently, there are 2.4 billion people in the world who have a health condition that benefits from rehabilitation, i.e. more than 15% of the global population according to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO). Faced with this, 21st century tools, such as robotics and technology, have managed

José Carlos Castillo, Robotics Lab UC3M, has patented (as co-author) a method to reduce energy losses in solar thermal power plants.
