Flocking drones, swarming pigeons
Not only living organisms, but also robots can move in certain collective patterns. But what rules underlie such behaviour? The study of the patterns of group motion in pigeons motivated Professor Tamás Vicsek to develop a swarm of drones being able…

Spotlight on ERC Projects: Robotics
The idea of automated machines that can perform tasks
autonomously dates back to ancient times but robotics is a relatively
new research domain – less than 60 years old. Today, this broad,
interdisciplinary scientific field combines mechanical and electrical
engineering, computational studies, communication engineering,
but also neurosciences and cognitive sciences.
From the big industrial robots that assist production in factories, to
the robotic sensors in navigation systems and the nanorobots that
might be injected in our cells for therapeutic purposes, researchers
in robotics do not have to look too far for a scientific challenge or
room for progress.
The European Research Council (ERC) aims at supporting top
researchers with these challenges by funding their best scientific
ideas. Around 60 robotics-related projects have been funded by
the ERC since its creation, representing more than €104 million
invested in research areas such as human-robot interactions, robot
tasks and abilities with various industrial or service applications
(e.g. health, care, safety and domestic).
This brochure showcases a few examples of these projects.

How to equip robots with senses
Compared to humans, the sensing and dexterity of current robots is extremely limited. Reproducing these fundamental human abilities in robotics systems requires a new scientific and technological approach, according to Professor Danica Kragic.
