Visit of Tridivisions at evologics
Recently, Tridivisions‘ Jürgen Bund visited our project partner evologics GmbH at their headquarters in Berlin. Jürgen Bund got a first-hand and detailed insight in the newest developments at evologics, such as the Quadroin AUV that you can see on the photo (Prof. Rudolf Bannasch, the company founder in the middle; Dr. Fabian Bannasch, CEO, on the right). After that, all three discussed the alignment of the company’s strategy with the goals of the project, from which derived new exploitation lines. The main one is related to ecosystem monitoring in sweet water environments such rivers, lakes, dams, swamps, etc., which initially wasn’t part of the project’s goals. The visit also served for addressing VoC (Voice of the Customer) aspects and how evologics incorporates these into their product development processes. Finally, Ideas for follow-up R&D and innovation projects were outlined, and which would benefit from using ECOBOTICS.SEA as a ramp-up and promotional platform. A bi-/multilateral follow-up meeting for the second half of this year has already been agreed.
ECOBOTICS.SEA present at EMRA 2023
Our ECOBOTICS.SEA project will be present at EMRA 2023 – “Workshop on EU-funded Marine Robotics and Applications”.
EMRA is an event co-organized by several EU-funded projects (MONUSEN, UWIN-LABUST, MARBLE, INNOVAMARE) which will be held in Šibenik, Croatia, from 20 to 21 June 2023. This event aims to gather the European community of Marine robotics, in particular the main EU-funded on-going projects. We would be delighted to meet you at EMRA!Stay tuned to this page. We will publish the event’s web site address as soon as available. In order to get an idea of the typical format of EMRA events, you can visit the web site of the 2021 edition.
Development of a Novel Underactuated Robotic Fish with Magnetic Transmission System
Recently, Dr. Donato Romano and Prof. Cesare Stefanini from our consortium member SSSA, more specifically, its BioRobotics Institute, published a paper about the “Development of a Novel Underactuated Robotic Fish with Magnetic Transmission System”. The paper was published by MDPi and can be downloaded for free here.
