WELCOME !Welcome to the EURON websiteEURON stands for the "EUropean RObotics research Network". It is a community of people with a common interest in working to make better robots. EURON from AprilHerman's slides from the Annual Meeting on 28th March are now attached with other talks onto the agenda. CONGRATULATIONS to Herman and John and the new EURON Board following their success in our big vote. Welcome to new membersUnfortunately EURON II stopped accepting new members on Jan 20th.

Robot of the WeekEyebotA flying swarm of eyes
Eyebots are autonomous flying robots with powerful sensing and communication abilities for search, monitoring, and pathfinding in built environments. Eyebots operate in swarm formation, as honeybees do, to efficiently explore built environments, locate predefined targets, and guide other robots or humans. Eyebots are being developed as part of the Swarmanoid project, where they guide other robots with simpler sensing abilities. Eyebots can also be used independently to locate: humans who may need help, suspicious objects, or traces of dangerous chemicals. Their programmability, combined with individual learning and swarm intelligence, makes them rapidly adaptable to several types of situations that may pose a danger for humans. Eyebot is produced by the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems of EURON member 5, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL).
