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 […]

Humanoidni roboti su moguci

ETF Robotics — Thu, 28 May 2026 13:38:00 +0000

🎙️ Humanoidna robotika više nije tema budućnosti – ona je već deo aktuelnih razgovora o industriji, obrazovanju i društvu. Rukovodilac grupe ETF Robotics prof. Kosta Jovanovic gostovao je u jutarnjem programu Euronews Serbia, u razgovoru posvećenom humanoidnoj robotici, povodom najave otvaranja fabrike humanoidnih robota u Srbiji 👉 https://lnkd.in/du82TFQD U emisiji je bilo reči o razvoju humanoidnih robota, njihovom ekonomskom potencijalu, ali i o pitanjima koja neizostavno prate ovakve tehnološke iskorake, od etičkih dilema do pravne regulative. Profesor Jovanović se posebno osvrnuo na akademski potencijal Srbije u oblasti robotike, kao i na važnost strateškog pristupa razvoju visokih tehnologija. U tom kontekstu istaknuto je da se dugoročan razvoj ne gradi samo kroz investicije i tehnološke kapacitete, već i kroz sistematsko jačanje znanja, istraživanja i ljudi koji će te tehnologije razvijati i primenjivati a uz podršku domaćim tehnološkim firmama po modelu vodećih sistema poput programa za razvoj robota u Kimi Upravo zato grupa ETF Robotics posvećuje posebnu pažnju edukaciji kadrova u oblastima robotike, veštačke inteligencije i proširene realnosti, kao i razvoju kompetencija koje su neophodne za savremeno istraživačko i inovaciono okruženje. Ove aktivnosti posebno razvijamo i kroz projekat CITADELS – Horizon WIDERA, čiji je cilj jačanje ljudskih kapaciteta, kako istraživača, tako i research […]

Return from HMI2MARKET

ETF Robotics — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:33:00 +0000

On our way back from the inspiring HMI2MARKET consortium meeting in Munich, our team made a stop in Croatia to visit our project partners at CRTA – Regional Center of Excellence for Robotic Technology at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture. It was a real pleasure to spend time with their team, tour the laboratories, meet the research staff, and learn more about the work they are doing. Beyond the facilities and research capacities, what made this visit especially valuable was the chance to sit together, exchange perspectives, and talk openly about the topics that bring our teams closer. These moments outside formal meetings often say the most. They help us better understand each other’s environments, ways of working, and long-term interests, and that is often where the most meaningful ideas for future collaboration begin. We are thankful to our colleagues at CRTA, especially Marko Švaco, Maja Trstenjak and Antonija Lelas for their warm welcome, generosity, and the inspiring conversations. It was a pleasure to continue building this partnership in person, and we look forward to the projects, ideas, and shared initiatives that may grow from it.

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 […]

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.
