Educational Video Series

Please send contributions soon!


EURON is aiming to produce a set of Educational-Promotional videos on Robotics. We are especially interested in videos that are attractive to young people about to decide on their degree course. We are thinking of videos equivalent to biology/zoology documentaries on TV.

Proposed chapters are [ more details ]:

  1. From the industrial revolution to current robotized factories
  2. Robotics close to humans, service robotics
  3. Problems of disabled people and robotic solutions
  4. Robots, the best collaborators for the surgeon
  5. From the tractor to the agricultural robot
  6. The sea bottom within human reach through robotics
  7. The what and why of humanoid robots
  8. Edutainment

This set of videos should be didactic, motivating and include basic technical aspects such as: architectures, control, sensor capabilities, computational techniques, intelligent behaviour.

Please see how you can contribute material to this video collection — maybe by providing short high quality videos, or demos of your work or work that you like. Copyright issues will be sorted out before publication, with appropriate credits.

If you have demos of something that is more than a lab prototype, maybe already applicable to current technology or real applications in real environments, please contact Manel Frigola for the ftp address where you can submit them. If you have scenarios or running applications which are recordable you can send a brief explanation to Manel, preferably with photos, in order that we can evaluate how it fits in the video and plan its recording in situ.

Thank you in advance for your contributions!
Ideally, we would like them by 19th Nov.

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. The Annual Meetings are the major instrument for this purpose.


Communicate


A lot of things are happening all the time in the European robotics community: conferences and workshops are being organised, projects are starting, job offers are announced, etc. The EURON mailing list is the place-to-be for all your communications around these topics.
