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

Eyebot

A 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).
