Special Interest Groups (SIGs)


EURON actively supports the discussion of robotics throughout Europe and the dissemination of information between different European robot research groups.

New SIGs started under EURON II

  • Good Experimental Methodology [ proposal ] run by Fabio Bonsignorio. If robotics aims to be serious science, then replication of experiments deserves serious attention and trustable benchmarks are needed. [How to join this SIG.]

SIGs continued under EURON II

  • Cooperative Robotics [ proposal ] run by Alessandro Saffiotti. A SIG for people interested in collaborative robotics, multirobot coordination, and collective robotics.

    This Cooperative Robotics SIG prepared a White Paper on the current status and future perspectives of Cooperative Robotics in Europe in April 2008. This paper focuses especially on Network Robot Systems and Formal Models and Methods.

Getting Involved


We hope that you will get involved in many of EURON's activities and encourage others to do so as well.

Attend Meetings


Attending meetings is an excellent way of making contacts and friends within the community. These contacts are normally interesting, and may also be useful!

EURON Schools are aimed at PhD students so are particularly good for people wishing to deepen an already existing interest. [ More details  ... ]

Contribute to the Initiatives


Your knowledge and resources are valuable — please consider sharing them with others by adding items to the databases, contributing your opinions to the roadmap and benchmarking initiatives, and your information to this website.

Especially, please contribute to the Video Collection for Students asap.
