Month: November 2018

This Tuesday November 29th the AEROBI experiments were tested by members from the European Commission under a bridge of Algodonales de la Sierra (Cádiz). There where kind of three experiments: visual inspection, contact inspection (both with platforms designed by FADA-CATEC) and bridge beam deflection measurements. The results of these experiments were subsequently discussed and approved in the ci...

This Tuesday November 27th professor Anibal Ollero receives the FAMA prize from University of Seville's chancellor Miguel Angel Castro Arroyo due his long and successfull career in aerial robotics and automation. This trajectory includes european projects such as ARCAS FP7, H2020 AEROARMS and AEROBI and also the ERC Advanced Grant GRIFFIN project. The FAMA prizes are granted to the university p...

Aníbal Ollero, head of the GRVC and scientific advisor of FADA-CATEC explained in a interview published in the spanish daily "El País" which are the capabilities of the AEROARMS project's drones and how its application to industry can improve the safety of the work at heights in pipe inspections. The application of the AEROARMS improvements could save near 70,000 euros and speed up the pace of wor...

At November 1st started up the most ambitious project of GRVC after AEROARMS: GRIFFIN. This project funded an ERC Advanced Grant will be officially presented at the Engineering School of the University of Seville in a kick-off meeting with presentations of our members, whom talk about which will be the next challenges in aerial robotics systems with flapping wings. Anyone who wish to assist to thi...

On November 16th will start the European Robotics Week, an event full of various interactive robotics related events across Europe. This events aims to show how robots will impact in our daily lives (work, education...) and it's intended to wide public. One month before the official announcement of this activity, 650 events has been promoted and there are another 1000 events expected. Every yea...
