AeRoTwin · Twinning coordination action for spreading excellence in Aerial Robotics

AeRoTwin is twinning coordination action for spreading excellence in Aerial Robotics. The overall goal of AeRoTwin is to decrease networking gaps and deficiencies between UNIZG-FER and internationally leading counterparts in EU, by significantly enhancing S&T capacity of the Laboratory for Robotics and Intelligent Control Systems (LARICS) at UNIZG-FER. The project objectives are i) increase UNIZG-FER research excellence and innovation capacity in the field of aerial robotics, in the following Strategic Research Domains (SRDs): SRD1) cooperative robotic missions, SRD2) aerial robot navigation, and SRD3) aerial robot configurability by S&T knowledge transfer that will implement expert visits, short-term visits, joint summer schools and co-supervising PhD students and by hands-on experience that will implement on-site trainings, ii) enhance UNIZG-FER networking capacity and scientific visibility by strengthening links to aerial robotics research community by conference attendance, special sessions organization, workshops and tutorials attendance, participation in joint EU and international projects and publication of joint journal papers and by dissemination and outreach activities planned for a general public and school students, and iii) improve UNIZG-FER quality of innovation management and technology transfer, by strengthening links to aerial robotics industry by participation at industry fairs and by collaboration agreements with businesses, by strengthening links to aerial robotics end users by implementation of end-user oriented workshops, and by innovation management knowledge transfer by organization of innovation management trainings and technology transfer workshops. AeRoTwin will create the basis for a common framework for aerial robotics community involving EU and international leaders of the field. The activities of the project will contribute to the consolidation of the community and will create the assets to go beyond the end of the 3-year twinning.
