The Workshop is motivated by the exponential grow of aerial robotics technologies and applications and the new UAS European Regulations. These regulations will generate new application opportunities and also pose technology challenges
The main motivation is the interest in the application of aerial robotics, combined with artificial intelligence methods, for inspection and maintenance. Methods such as learning and autonomous detection will be applied to provide intelligence to aerial robots in inspection and maintenance applications. It includes the perception and high-level control of aerial robots, as well as the exploitation of data for the inspection and maintenance application.
The organizers and speakers are top level members of relevant companies, including end-users (CHEVRON, TOTAL, ENDESA-ENEL)
And technology developers (Thales, Terabee, VES, NEOBOTICS)
As well as research institutions (Univ. Sevilla, Univ. Oulu, Univ. Twente, Univ. Naples, FADA-CATEC).
The Workshop will continue a very successful series, which have been very well attended in all previous Workshops. These Workshops have generated new joint initiatives and successful proposals of new projects and even new products
