The Robotics Lab (UC3M) is organizing the IROS-RSJ Robotic Challenge for Young Students included in the IROS 2021 activities. The main objective of the Challenge is to create interest and incentive in the robotic careers of young students, defined as university students of first courses, and last courses of elementary and high schools. The Challenge will be in simulation only, and will use easy to implement and friendly tools. It will have two stages: the first is a Selection stage focused on navigation in in-door environments, and the second Finals is

The organizing committee and jury of the eighth edition of the University of Deusto’s Ada Byron Award for Women Technologists has awarded the 2021 prize to Elena García Armada. Elena García Armada is a Spanish industrial engineer who leads the CSIC group that has developed the world’s first bionic exoskeleton for children with spinal muscular atrophy from the company she founded, MARSI Bionics.

Last Thursday 2nd, as part of the Jornadas de Automática, CEA award was presented to Prof. Miguel Angel Salichs for his contributions to the development of Automation in Spain and his internationally recognized contributions in the field of social robotics.

Concha Monje has been selected as one of the 100 leaders in Spain in 2020 and among the ten leading women in R&D. You can find the info in this link.

Following the signing of a collaboration agreement with the EDIH CCSAI initiative (Krakow, Poland) RoboCity2030 is participating in a virtual meeting (June 11th) between various DIHs in an initiative organised from Poland. More details can be found in the agenda of this website.

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
