InQbet, The Hack for Artificial Intelligence
| Makeathons and hackathons are excellent tools to foster collaborations and co-creation in a world of complex and disruptive solutions. To connect the possibilities and the need for robots and artificial intelligence between companies, startups and academic groups, the InQbet makeathon takes place simultaneously in Brussels, New York and Singapore. More than 100 attended the kick-off, and 50 experts members are developing solutions with startups. Established companies such as P&G, Puratos, DEME, AB-Inbev and Solvay provide opportunities to explore new robotic applications. Robot manufacturers such as ABB, Fanuc and Cohesia provide open platform capability. Artificial intelligence experts such as Microsoft, Google and SAP provide their platforms for the creation of advanced bots. |

Robots Discovery Exhibition at CoR
Brussels, Belgium
Show details
| The European Robotics Week 2017 (ERW2017) Central Event organised in Brussels will see the “Robots Discovery” exhibition hosted by the European Committee of the Regions 20-23 November), where robotics experts from 30 European and regionally-funded projects will outline how their work can impact society. The exhibiting projects will show robots assisting during surgery or providing support for elderly care, how robots can help students develop digital skills, monitor the environment and apply agricultural chemicals with precision and less waste or how they can save lives after disasters. |

Logos Robotics Orchestra Concert at the European Committee of the Regions
Brussels, Belgium
Show details
|
Imagine a collection of more than sixty virtuoso musical robots that can play nearly any composition. Traditional instruments such as a piano, percussion, brass, woodwind or a variety of string instruments are combined with unheard sounds produced by newly invented instruments. The Logos Robot Orchestra only has genuine musical instruments, fully acoustic, driven by the magic of 21st-century robotics, in its ranks. The Logos automatons surpass their historical antecedents on various levels: all musical robots have full dynamic control as well as full polyphony. Their capabilities easily exceed those of human players. The microtonal capabilities and extreme precision of the automatons turn them into the perfect tool to explore musical and expressive possibilities. |

European Robotics Week - Sohjoa Baltic Robobus demo
Brussels, Belgium
Show details
|
The Sohjoa Baltic Robobus will be exhibited to the public on 22-23 November. You will have the chance to meet the project representatives, learn more about autonomous driving technologies and experience the bus itself. Baltic Sea region transitioning into eco-friendly autonomous last mile public transportation Public transport is not as flexible and accessible as private cars are in the Baltic Sea region. The project works towards increasing the attractiveness of public transport by improving offered services and introducing automated driverless electric minibuses, especially for the first and last mile of the journey. It proposes recommendations for environmentally friendly and smart automated public transport and guidelines on the organisational set-up. |

Logos Foundation - Robot Orchestra concert
Gent, Belgium
Show details
|
Imagine a collection of more than sixty virtuoso musical robots that can play nearly any composition. Traditional instruments such as a piano, percussion, brass, woodwind or a variety of string instruments are combined with unheard sounds produced by newly invented instruments. All these automata are fully acoustic and do neither use electronic sounds nor amplification. The Logos Robot Orchestra only has genuine musical instruments, driven by the magic of 21st-century robotics, in its ranks. Mechanical instruments have existed for a long time. Our automatons surpass their historical antecedents on various levels: all musical robots have full dynamic control as well as full polyphony. Their capabilities easily exceed those of human players. The microtonal capabilities and extreme precision of the automatons turn them into the perfect tool to explore musical and expressive possibilities. The orchestra does more than just play any style of music, it can create astonishing interactive music in real time. Dancers and musicians use gesture-sensing technologies including sonar and radar systems - developed in-house - to control the sounds directly with their own bodies. The generated music is gesture-controlled. Instead of dancers reacting to music, the music is derived from the movement of the dancers. |

Robotics classes for children at Eurospace center
Transinne, Belgium
Show details
|
Euro Space Center is a discovery and educational recreation center unique in Europe. It’s located in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, in the “GALAXIA” Space Activities Park. Eurospace will host robotics classes for 6 to 15 years old children, held by Baudouin Hubert. Children will explore the potential and place of robots in society, and how to use them. To do this, students are invited to program a small, user-friendly robotic vehicle, Thymio. Thymio can change colour when caressed, can navigate between obstacles, or follow the programmer. |
