I always enjoy crossing paths with "Albertle" Einstein—at least historically! Today at Café Louvre in Prague, where Einstein was a regular in 1912. He held a professorship in Prague starting 1911 but returned to Zurich just a year later.

Was a great day at Sanaz Mostaghim's lab in #Magdeburg for the PhD defense of Qihao Shan. Congrats for a great thesis on collective decision-making in #swarm #robotics! Enjoyed again the sophisticated tradition of celebrating a PhD.

interesting new preprint by Siemensma and Haghighat

Optimization of Collective Bayesian Decision-Making in a #Swarm of Miniaturized Vibration-Sensing Robots

Had the pleasure of giving a talk at CITIC, University of Granada-many thanks for the great discussions!
Big thanks to Hector Garcia de Marina for hosting me, sharing his research & showing exciting fixed-wing drone demos. Amazing facilities, ideal for robotics research!

Had an amazing time visiting Amazon Robotics in Boston and meeting with Andreas Kolling! Great tour and fun chat about the challenges in #swarm #robotics, #automation, and #autonomy for warehouse robots. Thanks, Andreas!

We’ve been busy this summer!

PhD student @praked.bsky.social & intern C. Apolinsky have taken our RC sailboat from controlled pond tests to our lake. They’ve achieved autonomous navigation, station keeping, and more!

Stay tuned as we build our own #sailboat.
