Press release: 

Unmanned Traffic Management 4D Path Planning Technologies for Drone Swarm to Enhance Safety and Security in Transport, LABYRINTH, was approved by the European Commission. The project is coordinated by the Robotics Lab and belongs to the Horizon 2020 Programme. The Kick-off-Meeting of the project was on July 2020.

LABYRINTH will contribute to a safer, more efficient and sustainable civil road, rail, air and waterborne transport with new centralized planification systems capable of communicating with all the drones in a certain area, processing their desired origin and destination points and compute paths to avoid

The Joint Strategic Research Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) for the AI, Data and Robotics Partnership was launched on 22 September. This is an agenda supported by the European Commission and has been driven by euRobotics and European initiatives focused on AI (Claire, Ellis, EurAI) and Big Data (BDVA). This document is part of a joint initiative between these entities to promote innovation, productivity and European economic growth in the coming years.

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the WHO website and through your national and local public health authority. Most people who become infected experience mild illness and recover, but it can be more severe for others.

Pedro Revenga (RoboSafe-UAH) was interviewed in Las Mañanas de Radio Nacional.

The prize is awarded by internationally renowned experts for the group’s ongoing research in the field of perception systems applied to robotics, road infrastructure and intelligent vehicles. The UAH is the first Spanish institution to receive this award.
