CORDIS: Boosting Europe’s wine sector with artificial intelligence
The introduction of precision farming in vineyards could help winegrowers to increase production efficiency and the competitiveness of this important sector. Today, the agricultural sector as a whole is under intense pressure. Farmers not only have to feed a growing world population, but also work more sustainably to protect the environment for future generations. Climate […]
EU-funded project develops robots capable of detecting damage and repairing themselves
When humans and animals are injured such as from a cut, they are able to heal over time. However, for broken robots, this often means replacement parts are needed. This not only impacts on the environment, but these parts can be costly. The EU-funded SHERO project had a radical vision of developing fully autonomous self […]
EU to invest €180 million in cutting-edge digital technologies and research
The EU is preparing to invest €180 million in breakthrough digital technologies, following the latest in a series of calls of the Horizon Europe Programme that boost collaborative research and development across the Union. Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and new materials are among the key technologies for Europe’s transition to a digital, sustainable and inclusive future. […]
AI robots in our lives: What will it take to accept them?
An EU-funded project is encouraging debate on responsible robotics to promote widespread social acceptance of AI-based robotic technologies in four key areas. As robotic technology advances in a wide range of sectors, steadily changing the way we work and live, the question remains: How will AI-based robots affect society? And can the barriers preventing their […]
What future for European robotics?
Europe is a world-class leader in the production of robots, for example, one fourth of industrial robots in the world are produced in Europe! This industry plays a key role in the digital transformation of our societies and economies that, combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI), will likely have a tremendously disruptive effect. Robots can be […]
22 billion euros in new European Partnerships for social challenges
Today, the Commission launched 11 new European Partnerships together with industry, to boost investments in research and innovation and to overcome major climate and sustainability challenges, towards making Europe the first climate neutral economy and delivering on the European Green Deal. In line with the goals of the ‘twin’ green and digital transition, the Partnerships […]
PhD Studentship in Biologically inspired underwater soft robotics
Animals glide effortlessly through amazing underwater acrobatics, while our best underwater vehicles fight against the water during the simplest accelerations and manoeuvres. Using soft robotics, the student working on this project will develop highperformance underwater vehicles capable of biological levels of performance and efficiency. Southampton leads the UK in underwater robotics and biological fluid mechanics, […]
