AIFORS

ERA Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Robotics

 

 

AIFORS is a Horizon 2020 ERA Chair project which aims to create an ERA Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Robotics at the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (UNIZG-FER). It will enable UNIZG-FER to attract an outstanding researcher and five team members to independently implement an ambitious research strategy in AI for robotics. This will open UNIZG-FER to a new research direction with a high potential for research outputs and technology innovation. The ERA Chair holder will establish and lead a Research Group for Artificial Intelligence for Robotics assigned to the Laboratory for Autonomous Systems and Mobile Robotics (LAMOR).

IEEE-RAS Conference on Soft Robotics...

ROBOSOFT 2025 conference took place in Lausanne, Switzerland from April 23-26, 2025, and ERA chair Fabio Bonsignorio presented one of our two papers 'Modeling the mind-body nexus in soft embodied agents’. The other paper  ‘Emerging locomotion behavior by maximizing entropy-based information metrics’ was presented by Luca Zanetti, a postdoc in the Heron@CNR Joint lab at CNR-INM.

Before and after the conference he took part in the lab tours at EMPA in Zurich and at ETH's robotics, discussing future collaborations and also participated in the Embodied Intelligence Workshop (EI), where he gave the talk ‘Today the wormbot, Tomorrow AGI’.
