Being one of the three technological universities in the Netherlands, the TU Delft aims at introducing new robot technologies that can work together with humans beyond confined industrial environments.
To protect deminers and save time, ICARUS has started to use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for mapping and detecting. One of the major issues facing flood-hit areas is the widespread presence of unexploded devices from the war.
MecklerMedia’s RoboUniverse Announces Keynote Speakers, May 11-13, 2015 at the Javits Convention Center
DARIUS aims at addressing the different aspects related to the application of the unmanned robot systems in SAR operations. The different objectives of this project will be tested on realistic scenarios.
FireSwarm- a Dutch research project- strives to develop a swarm of affordable, autonomous and small unmanned aerial vehicles that can be used to monitor and detect fire in large natural areas, specifically at the Noor-Holland dune areas.
The European Robotics project, ICARUS, aims at developing robotic tools that can detect and rescue human beings. These systems will be used to help “human” crisis intervention teams.
NIFTi is a Robotics project that focuses on ways to make robots capable of bearing humans in mind while performing. The Robotics project is expected to lead to an integrated account of how natural human-robot teaming can become a reality.
