Connectionists: 2022 IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems in Prague, August 1-5, 2022: CAPACITY EXTENDED

[Multi-Robot Systems Group in Prague]

Dear all,

Given the unexpected interest of students applying for the 2022 IEEE RAS 
Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems and the linked support we received 
from the Czech Technical University in Prague, we have decided to extend 
the number of applicants that can participate in the Summer School being 
held on August 1-5, 2022 in Prague, Czech Republic. Visit 
http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-school-2022/ for details and the list of 
invited lecturers from top robotics laboratories worldwide. This will 
allow us to provide the knowledge and the interesting content of the 
Summer School to the broadest audience possible. At the same time, it 
could be a unique opportunity for networking of young scientists working 
in similar fields of research. Moreover, we have obtained more UAVs with 
various sensors from sponsors, so the students will be able to make even 
more demanding experiments.

The Summer School is proper for last year bachelor’s students, master’s 
students, and PhD students, but we would also like to invite young 
scientists from both industry and academia. Mainly the planned HW 
experiments with a fleet of real UAVs realized by students during the 
Summer School practicals could be within their interest.

You can find more details about the Summer School in the call for 
participation with deadline June 1, 2022 below this email.

Best Regards,

Martin

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 
http://mrs.felk.cvut.cz/summer-school-2022/ which will be held again at 
the campus of Czech Technical University located at the heart of the 
historic city of Prague.

The Summer School aims to promote the newest achievements in multi-robot 
systems 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 https://aerial-core.eu project and DARPA SubT challenge 
www.subtchallenge.com <http://www.subtchallenge.com/>

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.

The call for applications is now open:
