|
The IEEE RAS Summer School on Multi-Robot Systems is an annual one-week event organized by the Multi-robot Systems group at the Czech Technical University in Prague, in the heart of one of Europe’s most beautiful and historic cities. It is dedicated to the latest advancements in Multi-Robot Systems research and is aimed at students, academic researchers, and industry professionals. Our goal is to enable the practical application of systems of cooperating robots and to encourage networking among participants. The program combines lectures by world-renowned experts, group seminars, computer practicals, and a social and networking program including a welcome party, a guided tour or beer tour, and a festive banquet. The highlight of the school is the final-day outdoor experiment and competition, in which all participants put their newly acquired knowledge into practice by working hands-on with real Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) and a true UAV swarm. The school is also a CTU accredited course equivalent to 2 ECTS. Find the details of the upcoming edition on the Summer School 2027 website.
