Frequently Asked Questions

About the EURON website

Is the Euron website all we need in order to find information about future events/activities?: The website contains information about all events that the webmaster finds out about! So it should be all you need, as long as people keep the webmaster informed. However, if you prefer to be emailed about events, you should also join the euron-dist mailing list.
Is the Euron website all we need in order to contact other Euron members?: The website does not advertise email addresses for anyone except the key people, but it does give URLs for each formal member and many research groups. These are also available sorted by country.

Advertising

May we put our robot on the Robot Pictures page?: Any EURON-member research group may submit one or two robots to the robot gallery, and next to their entry on their country page. To qualify for inclusion, a project needs a good web page/site giving real information, and a nice picture. Just email the webmaster with details.
Do we have to be a member to be able to advertise on your website?: You do not have to be a member to advertise events, but you do to advertise robots. Other items of particular interest to members may be added to the resources lists at the webmaster's discretion — see the type of thing that is there already.
Is it possible to advertise products through your website?: Not exactly, though you are welcome to write your own (short) entry for the Industrial and Commercial Members page, and to put your most interesting robots in the Robot Pictures page.

Robot of the Week

LeRoS-F

Lightweight joint system

The LeRoS-F project involves the design and development of an innovative modular joint system for dexterous lightweight robots with flexible fluidic actuators. The idea is that such robots can operate safely around humans. [ Technical details. ]

A novel and particularly safe inherently compliant fluidic actuator is being developed: the "Rotary Elastic Chambers" actuator. This actuator is of revolute type and thus suitable for compact robotic modules of different sizes and power.

The modules comprise a small number of fully integrated components with matched mechanical and electrical interfaces: fluidic vane motor, sensors, control elements, as well as electronic unit and control algorithms.

LeRoS-F was developed by the Institute of Automation of EURON member 60, the University of Bremen, in close collaboration with the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Institute (FWBI), Bremen, Germany.
