SUMMARY:BrIAS Sustainable Robotics Seminar 1
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to kick-off our BrIAS 2024 Seminar season on Sustainable Robotics. \n1. Welcome speech – BrIAS Directors Prof. Serge Jaumain and Prof. Frank Deconinck\n\n\n\n2. Introducing BrIAS- Prof. Christian Hermans (former BrIAS Programme director) and Prof. Emanuele Garone (current BrIAS Programme director)\nThey will kick off this first seminar by talking about BrIAS\,  what we have achieved so far and our vision for the future. \n3. Prof. Francesco Lamonaca\, Associate Professor\, University of Calabria\, Italy.\n\n\n\nTitle: “Measurements for Sustainable Robotics and Automation”\n\n\n\nThe convergence of robotics and measurement technologies has opened up new avenues for advancements in various fields\, from industrial automation to healthcare\, to smart agriculture\, to the preservation of cultural heritage and beyond. The talk explores the reciprocal relationship between measurements and robotics\, shedding light on how each domain contributes to the enhancement of the other. The integration of precise measurements in robotics and the utilization of robotic systems for improved measurement processes have become integral components in the pursuit of efficiency\, accuracy\, and innovation. Indeed\, as measurements continue to play a fundamental role in the precision and functionality of robotic systems\, robotics reciprocates by offering innovative platforms for deploying measurement instruments in diverse and challenging environments. The ongoing synergy between these two domains not only pushes the boundaries of technological capabilities but also prompts a thoughtful consideration of ethical and societal implications. As researchers and practitioners continue to explore the vast potential of this interplay\, the landscape of measurements and robotics is poised for continuous evolution and groundbreaking discoveries. \n\n\n\n4. Guillermo Legarda Herranz\, PhD researcher at IRIDIA\, ULB.\n\n\n\nTitle: “Robot swarms for intralogistics”\n\n\n\nRecent developments of robot swarms with richer capabilities for sensing and manipulation of the environment have opened the door to more complex applications of swarm robotics. The introduction of such swarms in intralogistics\, where workers are still at risk of injury\, is of particular interest. In this talk\, I will discuss how swarms of robots can be controlled to simultaneously transport multiple items that are too heavy or too large for a single robot to carry. Such robot swarms could be deployed in plants with no specialised infrastructure and aid in the transport of pallets or packages. This could help prevent accidents at work in the transportation and storage sector\, which in 2021 accounted for almost 17% of all fatal accidents at work in the EU. Furthermore\, the inherent affordability of swarm systems would make such solutions accessible to economically disadvantaged communities. \n\n\n\nFor the teams link\, or in-person participation\, registration is required. Coffee and tea will be served. \n\n\n\nThis Seminar will also be livestreamed on our Youtube channel @BrIAStalks
