ETF Robotics — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:08:00 +0000

𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: David Seničić one of our newest PhD students at ETF Robotics, and a great example of why we invest time in maintaining strong ties with our alumni and industry partners. David is Head of Technology at HTEC, a company that employs many ETF graduates. When our alumni grow inside companies like HTEC, those companies naturally become places where industry and academia can meet through concrete work, shared challenges, and mutual learning. Most recently, David reached out to share his latest milestone: he participated in a recorded 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘁 NVIDIA GTC, where he explained paths to becoming certified in NVIDIA technologies and discussed why certifications matter across the industry, whether you’re an experienced professional or a recent graduate.

Celebration of women in STEM

ETF Robotics — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:30:00 +0000

We are proud to celebrate Anastasija Rakić and her inspiring interdisciplinary research at the intersection of robotics and anthropology. At the same time, Anastasija is not the only outstanding young woman shaping the future of robotics within our community. ✨ Maja Trumic is currently at TU Delft | Mechanical Engineering, leading her 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗸ł𝗼𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗸𝗮-𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗠𝗦𝗖𝗔) grant for her project 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘂𝘁, advancing soft robotics for safe and precise navigation in confined environments.✨ Gorana Milovanović, a PhD candidate at ETF Robotics, is developing a human–machine interface for variable stiffness robotic systems based on myoelectric control and electrotactile feedback — contributing to more intuitive, responsive, and human-centered robotic interaction. For us at ETF Robotics, women in STEM are not a one-day celebration. They are, and must become, the standard of the future. Marking the International Day of Women and Girls in STEM is important. But what matters even more is building systems that continuously support, mentor, and encourage girls from an early age to pursue engineering, science, and research careers. Real gender balance in STEM will not come from symbolic recognition, it will come from consistent opportunities, visible role models, and shared responsibility. We remain committed to strengthening that path through education, […]

Hands-on experimental biomechanical exercises

ETF Robotics — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:20:00 +0000

This year, our laboratory continued its collaboration with the 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (FSFV) through hands-on experimental biomechanics exercises for ETF students within the Biomechanics course [https://lnkd.in/dZa7Wwbe]. Our Dr. Filip Bečanović and Jelena Aleksic from FSFV designed and conducted a series of laboratory sessions for seven ETF students in the “Slobodan Jarić” Laboratory. Students worked directly with advanced measurement systems including Qualisys motion capture (Miqus M3 cameras, Track Manager software) and AMTI force platforms. The exercises covered: ▶️𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘀▶️𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝘀▶️𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘂𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 These activities were made possible through the support of Prof. Kosta Jovanovic (ETF) and Prof. Dragan Mirkov (FSFV), and represent the kind of interdisciplinary teaching where robotics, biomechanics, and human-centered engineering meet. We’re grateful for the continued partnership between our institutions.

Nikola Ružić: Bridging Research and Practice from ETF to DLR

ETF Robotics — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 16:47:00 +0000

Curiosity often grows where theory meets application, and that’s exactly where Nikola Ružić’s journey began. From long hours in the ETF Robotics lab to upcoming work at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) within the euROBIN Brain Magnet Program, Nikola’s story reflects the path of a young engineer learning not only how to build better robots, but how to collaborate, adapt, and grow within a global research community. His experience shows that innovation is as much about people and shared learning as it is about algorithms and machines. Can you briefly introduce yourself and share a bit about your interests? In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends along the Danube River and tinkering in my home workshop on small projects. I also like playing Club Bridge, which I find to be a great way to relax while keeping my analytical and problem-solving skills sharp. Can you tell us about the topic of your research and what you’ve been working on at ETF Robotics? My research focuses on advanced control methods for mobile manipulators, particularly in tasks that require safe physical interaction with the environment, such as assembly, cutting, or polishing. At ETF Robotics, we developed a state-of-the-art algorithm […]

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, our students Nikola Ruži and Veljko Todić had the chance to join the 𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 (𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗦𝟮) in Genova organized by I-RIM Istituto di Robotica e Macchine Intelligenti. Beyond the lectures from some of the leading voices in robotics — Arash Ajoudani, Gianluca Palli, Francesco Nori, Antonio Bicchi, and Elena De Momi — this was a week filled with real exchange: coding, discussing, and learning side by side with peers from across Europe. For Nikola and Veljko, it wasn’t only about sharpening technical skills. Summer schools like DRIMS2 are also about the friendships built over late-night conversations, the teamwork during exercises, and the small moments of connection that stay long after the program ends. We hope the knowledge they brought back, and the relationships they built, will continue to grow in the years ahead — both for them personally and for the robotics community we are proud to be part of.
