SARBOT (Search And Rescue roBOT) is a multidisciplinary spanish team formed by three Universities (UPM, UAH and UC3M) and one Public Research Centre (CAR-CSIC) to participate in the first DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC). Four of the six members of RoboCity2030 take part in this team. The SARBOT Team is formed by more than 17 researchersrnThe goal of the DRC is to generate groundbreaking research and development so that future robotics can perform the most hazardous activities in future disaster response operations, in tandem with their human counterparts, in order to

Last week several members of the RoboticsLab (Miguel González-Fierro, Tamara Ramos and Dolores Blanco) visited La Verbena school (Leganés) to show kids between 3 and 6 the magic of robotics. They had an amazing time with our small humanoid, HOAP-3.

Juan Álvaro Gallego (CSIC) presented on June, 6, 2013 his PhD Thesis entitled A Neuroprosthesis for Tremor Management. The directors of the thesis were Luis Moreno (UC3M), Jose Luis Pons (CSIC) and Eduardo Rocón de Lima (CSIC). The examing board was formed by Carlos Balaguer, Alicia Casals and Ramón Ceres. He received the highest rating possible.

Last April 18th , the Smart Car from the National Research Council (CSIC), AUTOPIA, visited the set of the program El Hormiguero (Antena 3).

Workshop will be focused on Cognitive Robotics. More information is available at the web page of the workshop.

Last Monday MiguelÁngel Salichs and Victor González Pacheco (UC3M) explained the main challenges concerning the 7FP project MOnarCH on a national programme (La aventura del saber, La 2, TVE). You can see the video at this link:rnhttp://youtu.be/2BYlsqXVfSQrn

Introducing a fleet of social robots in a hospital, so that they can interact with children affected by cancer, will be the final outcome of a new international research project that Universidad Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M) is participating in. The objective is to design and build these devices and to advance the study of societies in which humans and robots mix. rnThe MOnarCH project (Multi-Robot Cognitive Systems Operating in Hospitals), which involves researchers from approximately ten European companies and research centers, intends to introduce a set of robots that

Last April 4th the 2nd Workshop Robotics Lab Spring 2013 was held at UC3M. The speakers were Silvia Rodríguez, Martin Fodstad Stoelen and Alejandro Martín Clemente. This workshop was open to students of the Master of Robotics and Automation and students who are researching to present their degree project.

Last March 14th Robotics Lab hosted the 11th RoboCity2030 Workshop (UC3M). The topic of the workshop was Social Robots. The workshop was a great success and there was a lot of networking between members of RoboCity2030. A conference book was also edited.
