Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout obtaining EURON moneyUnfortunately EURON's funding runs out on 30th April, so there is now very little opportunity for funding, except for travel reimbursement for attending the annual meeting. EURON members are eligible for support of up to 700 € per institution/formal member to subside the cost of two people (at least one of whom must be a PhD student, otherwise the max. reimbursement is 350 €) attending the annual meeting. In order to get this money you need to complete the Travel Reimbursement form and send it to EURON administrator Jeanna Ayoubi no later than April 15th together with the travel receipts. Note that the money can only be refunded to the formal EURON member, ie the account holder has to be your university/organisation, the money cannot be transferred to private personal accounts.

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).
