Robotics & Automation Unit is devoted to performing research and new developments in the field of robotics. The current research areas are 1) ground robots, 2) aerial robots, 3) human-robot interaction and cobots and 4) perception. In the last 15 years, the group has executed a total of around 125 research projects including applied research (15 European, 20 National) as well as technology transfer with over 90 private projects focusing on Advanced Robotics Applications with industry. The group is active in different domains including Agile manufacturing, Smart logistics, Infrastructure Inspection&Monitoring, Environmental, Agriculture and Construction.   

Eurecat participates in the project developing Reinforcement Learning algorithms, methods for understanding and reasoning about task structures, and synthesis and manipulation algorithms. Eurecat is also responsible for the use case “Manipulation in the daily activities of the kitchen“, with the aim of providing the robot with the necessary psychomotor skills to be able to, for example, set and clean the table or pour cereals into a bowl.
