Innovative robotic system

A demonstration of an innovative robotic system was presented at the national scientific conference “Robotics and Mechatronics 2026” organized by the Institute of Robotics - BAS. The two-day forum was opened today by Academician Chavdar Roumenin and Director Prof. August Ivanov in the “Max Planck” Hall of the institute. Control of a mobile robot powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, an electronic system for real-time monitoring and control of small ruminants, and a drone developed under a contract within the “Security and Defense” National Scientific Program are the successful projects that scientists from the Institute of Robotics discussed in their plenary presentations. Current trends in robotics are focused on the development of energy-efficient and sustainable systems, particularly in the context of service and collaborative [...]
