We are proud to announce that last week’s Small Scale Field Test on Radar and Drones in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse has been featured by the German TV Station Sat. 1. Watch the feature here.
We are delighted to share that the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) announced the initiation of our CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) on “Urban search and rescue – Guideline for the application of a test method for innovative technologies to detect victims in debris”. Click here to visit the CEN website. Please feel free to give your inputs as the standard development is open to anybody who can contribute know-how.
First partners have arrived and are setting everything up for our field test in Brignoles, France. Here, the mobility, durability and usability of SMURF as well as the SMURF Workstation and communication system will be tested in a realistic setting. Also further developments of SNIFFER, the “artificial nose” of SMURF, will be explored. Additionally, first Responders get the chance to test this technology and we are really looking forward to their feedback.
Check out our latest video on a visualization tool for autonomous systems used for SMURF developed at SINTEF Digital in cooperation with the INGENIOUS project!
We are happy to announce that CURSOR researchers received the Excellent Research Technology Award of the Robotics Society of Japan. Prof. Satoshi Tadokoro, Mr. Yu Ozawa and Prof. Masahiro Watanabe from Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan) will be awarded for their innovative robots which can climb over and under obstacles to find victims in disaster zones. This remarkable accomplishment will be announced at the Annual Conference of the Robotics Society of Japan on 8 September 2021. Learn more about their technical developments and this award when reading our press release. (German version to be found here)
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 832790 and from the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
