Excellent final review of TRADR

23 March, 2018 Posted by tradr_admin

The FP7 TRADR project held its final review meeting at an industrial site in Mestre, Italy, under the great hospitality of the Comando Provinciale Venezia Vigili del Fuoco on 21-22 March 2018. The review was attended by the EC Project Officer, three external reviewers and representatives from all the eleven partners of the TRADR consortium. More than 30 members of the large TRADR team participated to the meeting and contributed to the success of the project.

The very tight agenda contained presentations of the scientific results/achievements and three integrated demonstration sessions in which the functionalities of the TRADR integrated system were showcased in action operated by firefighters in an industrial-incident response mission (this video gives an impression of the demonstration scenario).

The reviewers and the project officer gave overwhelmingly positive final feedback on the excellent S&T progress achieved in the project and its impact. They praised the close collaboration with the end users and their active involvement and contributions throughout the project. The TRADR consortium in its turn was grateful for the constructive feedback it had been receiving from the reviewers and the support from the Project Officer.

 

Big thanks to everyone who has contributed

to the success and excellence of the TRADR project!!!

TRADR at RoboCup 2016

3 June, 2016 Posted by tradr_admin

The TRADR project displayed its newest developments at the RoboCup 2016 in Leipzig. There, we participated in a joint booth of several EU-funded projects, hosted by the euRobotics association.

During the four days, the team, consisting of different project partners, presented our approach and our technique to both public and scientific audience and established contacts throughout the robotics world. Our booth included a running UGV where visitors could get an impression of the collected sensor data as well as an arm for manipulation. Our team consisted of different members of the project, reaching from UGV-experts over data processing to human-robot interaction as well as EndUsers.

Announcement: euRathlon – TRADR Summer School, August 22-26, 2016 in Oulu, Finland

30 March, 2016 Posted by tradr_admin

Eurathlon_SummerSchool

The euRathlon/TRADR Workshop and Summer School 2016 on Heterogeneity in Robotics Systems is designed as a five-day course to provide participants with both theoretical and practical insight in multi-domain real robotic systems for deployment in disaster response scenarios.  The trend in this area is going towards multi-robot systems with different outfits, processing powers and operation spaces (ground, water, air) that shall be deployed over long periods and several sorties. This raises many challenges, including multi-modal heterogeneous mapping, semantic analysis and reasoning, (collaborative) planning under uncertainty.  The summer school program will consist of lectures on these topics, and hands-on sessions during which the participants work on practical tasks using several robots with different sensory equipment. The intended audience is undergraduate students, Master students, PhD students, postdoc students, researchers from universities/organizations and engineers from industry companies around the world.

 

The summer school is jointly organised by EURATHLON and TRADR EU Horizon 2020 and FP7 projects, respectively.
