Based on numerous requests from countries affected by COVID with
travel restrictions and students with insufficient traveling
funding, the IEEE Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems with real UAV
experiments will allow both physical and virtual participation. All
lectures, meetings, demos, and practical courses (including the
students' experiments in real-world conditions) will be provided
also online so that online participants will receive an equivalent
amount of information and knowledge as the students being physically
in Prague. <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0,
0);" class="">Representatives of almost all robotic labs worldwide
have registered to the school (so far we have 220 registrations)
but only people from Europe and a few other countries can come
physically and it would not be fair to exclude students from
almost the entire Asia for example. But we believe the online
possibility may help also many people from Europe.</span>

students, master’s students, and Ph.D. students, but we would
also like to invite young scientists from both industry and
academia working in the field of Aerial Robotics and Multi Agent
Systems. Mainly the planned experiments with a fleet of real
UAVs realized by students (online as well as physical) during
the Summer School practicals could be within their interest.<br

Following the great success of Summer Schools in Singapore, 2016
and in Prague, 2019 & 2020 the MRS RAS technical committee
is organising 2022 IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot
Systems <a href="http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-</a>school-2022/ with
real-world UAV experiments which will be held again at the
campus of Czech Technical University located at the heart of the
historic city of Prague.<br class="">
<br class="">
The Summer School aims to promote the newest achievements in
multi-robot systems, aerial and swarm robotics to students,
academic researchers, and industrial practitioners to enable
putting systems of cooperating robots into practice. The content
of the Summer School will be focused but not limited to systems
of cooperating aerial vehicles. The topics addressed by
well-recognised experts in the field of Multi-Robot Systems are
composed to provide the participants necessary knowledge for
understanding the available theory and for realisation
real-world experiments with a fleet of autonomous micro aerial
vehicles in the last day of the Summer School. This year the
school will be focused on deployment of MRS in real-world
conditions being motivated by EU AERIAL-CORE <a
href="https://aerial-core.eu/" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://aerial-core.eu</a> project
and DARPA SubT challenge <a href="http://www.subtchallenge.com/"
class="">www.subtchallenge.com</a><br class="">
<br class="">
The school is considered for presence participants primarily
since a minimal amount of COVID cases and no travel restrictions
were experienced in the Czech Republic in July-August in 2020
and 2021. Nevertheless, we will allow also virtual participation
for students from countries with travel restrictions or
limitations.<br class="">
