Join us for the Horizon Europe AeroSTREAM training sessions at the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, Zagreb, on Monday, 7th October and Thursday, 10th October 2024. Participation is free for all interested individuals. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to gain insights from industry experts on innovation, project management, and technologies such as multi-object tracking systems and UWB localization.

Last week Robert Milijaš delivered a presentation titled "How UAVs Work" ("Kiel funkcias senpilotaj aviadiloj") at the 12th Congress of Croatian Esperantists, held from June 21st to 28th. As part of the #Aerostream project, Milijaš explained the operational mechanisms, control systems, and practical applications of unmanned aerial vehicles ( #UAVs ).

🎉 Exciting news from the Bounding Box Conference! The panel "Deep Tech in Agriculture: Are we ready for disruption?" explored how innovative technologies like drones are set to revolutionize the agricultural industry.  The event highlighted the sector's reliance on energy-intensive practices and the potential for technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and unmanned aerial vehicles to enhance efficiency.  Moderated by Vlatko Galić, the panel featured insights from Zdenko Kovacic (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb), Ivan Plaščak (Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences, University of Osijek), Ivan Lauc (Plodovi.hr), and Mario Samardzic (DRONTIM).

On June 7th, 2024, the AeroSTREAM Project Consortium Meeting convened at ICUAS. Experts and stakeholders gathered to discuss advancements and future directions in unmanned aerial systems, featuring insightful presentations and collaborative discussions that fostered innovation within the AeroSTREAM project.

Bounding Box Conference in Osijek! As part of the Bounding Box Conference, the AeroSTREAM end-user workshop will be held, featuring a stand, several presentations, and panel discussions. Join us to explore innovations and connect with industry experts.

On June 9, 2024, we had the pleasure of joining the HUBS DRON PIKNIK 2024 at Znanstveno-učilišni kampus Borongaj in Zagreb. LARICS was proud to sponsor this event, which ran from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Attendees had the opportunity to visit our stand and explore the latest advancements in unmanned technology, including our  DroneDays event and the  Aerostream project. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🌟🛸

Two scientific papers co-authored by members of LARICS have been accepted for publication at ICUAS'24 by ICUAS Association, Inc . in Chania, Crete! Accepted Articles: 1. Towards Instance Segmentation Based Litter Collection with Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicle, co-authored with Filip Zoric , Antonio Franchi , Matko Orsag , Zdenko Kovacic , and Chiara Gabellieri . This work introduces autonomous floating litter collection with a multi-rotor vehicle in a laboratory environment. https://lnkd.in/dKKYFPTA 2. AI Enhanced Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) with Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicle, co-authored with Filip Zorić, Ana Milas , Tamara Petrović , Zdenko Kovacic, and Matko Orsag. The paper showcases the utilization of instance segmentation to detect concrete cracks and localize them on a global map, further underscoring the potential of MRAVs for autonomous structural health monitoring. #ICUAS24 #SciencePublication #AutonomousTechnology
