ICRA2026

ETF Robotics — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:48:19 +0000

A few days at ICRA2026 gave our team exactly what conferences are meant to give: time together, good conversations, familiar faces, new encounters, and a renewed sense of where robotics is moving. This year felt especially nice because our team in Vienna also included Maja Trumic, currently at TU Delft working on the 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁-𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗦𝗖𝗔. It meant a lot to share this experience again in person, even while our work now stretches across different labs, cities, and projects. We were also happy to see CITADELS – Horizon WIDERA, the project coordinated by ETF Robotics, present its Catalogue of Deeptech TestBeds https://lnkd.in/dmqrcu2B. For us, that mattered not only because the project had a visible place at such an important conference, but because it opened space to talk about the kind of ecosystem we care about building: one that connects research, people, infrastructure, and new opportunities in robotics and DeepTech. One particularly meaningful stop for us was the AGIBOT booth, because AGIBOT is openning a factory for humanoid robots in Serbia. During the visit, our group leader Kosta Jovanovic presented a book about 𝗠𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗿 𝗩𝘂𝗸𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗰, one of the pioneers of Serbian robotics, whose work on the 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱 […]

Visits at Palata Nauke – Zadužbina Miodraga Kostića

ETF Robotics — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:09:00 +0000

Last week at ETF Robotics center at Palata nauke – Zadužbina Miodraga Kostića was filled with inspiring activities, but two visits stood out in particular. The first came from academia. We had the pleasure of hosting Nikola Popovic, who earned his PhD at ETH Zürich and is currently working at INSAIT – Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology in Sofia. Alongside his research, Nikola is also actively contributing to the AI community in Serbia through PSIML, an annual seminar that brings together university students passionate about the fast-evolving field of machine learning. Our conversation with Nikola revolved around shared research interests, overlapping topics, and opportunities for collaboration, with a special 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜, an emerging field that is especially close to our team’s interests. Questions around how machines perceive, understand, reason, and interact with the physical world in real time are at the core of what excites and motivates us in robotics. Our second visit came from the world of industry and entrepreneurship. We had the opportunity to meet Elvis Nava, CEO of mimic , who shared the story of how mimic was founded an inspiring reminder of why startups are created in the first place. Not […]

Dolazak fabrike humanoidnih robota u Srbiju

ETF Robotics — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:32:00 +0000

Pitanje dolaska fabrike humanoidnih robota u Srbiju nije samo industrijska vest – to je razvojno pitanje. U svom intervjuu za Bloomberg Adria, rukovodilac naše laboratorije prof. Kosta Jovanovic otvara suštinsku dilemu: Da li želimo da budemo zemlja u kojoj se roboti samo sklapaju ili zemlja u kojoj se roboti razvijaju, programiraju i unapređuju? Ovo jeste velika prilika – ali samo ako joj pristupimo strateški. Ceo intervju možete pročitati ovde:https://lnkd.in/dZQRgjm8
