Between 9th and 12th January 2022, the Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research (CIDR 2022) was held in Chaminade, California (USA). At this conference, some results of the DAPHNE project, in which Institute of Computer Science UM FERI also participates, were presented to the public for the first time. The presentation is also available on YouTube, and more about the project is available on the project website https://daphne-eu.eu.

ATHENA, a European University alliance of seven higher education institutions, aims at fostering excellence in research and innovation by facilitating international cooperation. The ATHENA Research Book provides a platform that promotes joint and interdisciplinary research projects of both advanced and early-career researchers.

For the first pilot collection (Volume 1), we are currently inviting Review Papers, presenting prominent scientific achievements of the ATHENA Alliance partners, Original Research Papers, focusing on ideas and achievements contributing to the concept of the European University, and Students Papers. Submissions should be sent for the review not later than April 11, 2022.

In COVR Project "CobotSense: Intelligent 3D safety sensor for cobot applications ", the partners successfully reached the final Milestone 2 (after 9 of 9 months). FOKUS TECH d.o.o. has managed to raise the scanning speed of their prototype LiDAR sensor to 4.8 fps (from the starting 1 fps), UM FERI has integrated functionalities of motion prediction for both, robot and operator, the protective separation distance (PSD) calculation, and real-time adjustment of the robot’s speed in order to realize the speed and separation monitoring (SSM) principle. FANUC ADRIA d.o.o. has provided laboratory & industrial testing environments and their knowledge in the robot controller communication with external devices. An informative use case was presented by Youtube video and, as the main deliverable, the COVR Toolkit was extended with the Protocol for testing SSM cobot applications with 3D sensors.

Applications till 31st of December 2021.

The Laboratory for Electro-Optical and Sensor Systems (FERI, UM), in collaboration with the Institute of Electrical Measurement and Sensor Systems (TUG, Austria), will organize a workshop within the NATO SPS project entitled " Photonic Nano Particle Sensors for Detecting CBRN events". The workshop will begin on 15 September 9.2021 at 9:00 AM in the lecture hall Beta (G2 facility). The lectures shall cover the areas of photothermal sensing principles, fiber optic Fabry-Perot sensors and their applications in sensor systems, and interrogation principles for such sensors.

The project aims to develop miniature optical fiber sensors for detecting aerosols (black carbon, NOx,…) generated as a result of CBRN (nuclear, radiological, chemical, and biological) events. Read more on the project website: https://www.pnp-sensors.eu/.

The project partner is the Technical University of Graz (TUG). Lectures will be held in English.

You are cordially invited.
