Autonomous mobile robots can carry out tasks in environments that are unsafe or otherwise unsuitable for humans. The robots' missions in such environments range from remote facilities inspections to searching for survivors in the collapsed buildings or caves. Our models were also deployed on a tracked robot during the DARPA Subterranean Challenge.
As electric vehicles (EVs) become mainstream, the supporting infrastructure is under increasing pressure—especially fast-charging stations, where space, time, and electricity are all limited. Traditional walk-in or first-come-first-served models often result in overbooking, idle time, or suboptimal resource use.
From snowy fields to dense forests, this year’s ECMR workshop and competition will tackle SLAM where GPS fails, sensors struggle, and resilience matters most.
The European project Tuples, which includes researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University, is developing trustworthy artificial intelligence for decision-making. The system is already smartly planning waste collection in cities.
