Maker Faire 2023
Our lab participated at the Maker Faire Rome 2023, held in Fiera di Roma from 20 to 22 October 2022, with the CANOPIES project and the SPQR Team of Robot Soccer Players !
For CANOPIES, benefits of a collaboration between humans and robots in table grape vineyards have been discussed and demonstrated by 3 italian universities involved in the project: Sapienza, Roma3 and UNICAS. A virtual reality immersive experience, as a human worker in the table grape vineyard, has been enjoyed by many people.

CALL FOR PAPERS
*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
- Paper Submission: July 10, 2015
- Notification: September 7, 2015
- Camera Ready: September 12, 2015
*** TOPICS AND OBJECTIVES ***
Environment awareness and conservation is an epoch-making subject in our society. Many scientific fields have contributed to size and address this concern. In the last 20 years many specific environmental missions pollution monitoring, soils conservation, natural disasters research, nuclear and radiation accidents using air, ground and underwater robots have been reported. This robots have been shipped with different sensory systems able to sense and gather biophysical data from broad areas for further analysis and study. This special session dedicated to environmental robotics will present late and future research within this field. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- João Valente, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain (jvalente@ing.uc3m.es)

RoCKIn Camp 2015
The RoCKIn Camp 2015, organized by UNIROMA1 and held in Peccioli (Italy) from 18th to 22nd of March, has been designed as a consistent follow up of the previous Camp 2014, held in Rome from 26th to 30th January 2014. Many of the best teams that participated at the previous camp attended also the RoCKIn Camp 2015.
Differently from the RoCKIn Camp 2014, that has been structured as a week-long school with lectures and practical activities, the RoCKIn Camp 2015 put a special emphasis on the hands-on experience of the participants, encouraging each team to focus on specific RoCKIn task and functionality benchmarks in order to improve their performances during the camp and to achieve the best possible results.
The RoCKIn Camp 2015 has been organized at the ECHORD++ Robotics Innovation Facility (RIFs) of Peccioli (Italy). Teams gained access to the state-of-the-art ECHORD++ domestic test bed (Figure 1) and to the RoCKIn industrial test bed, and had the chance to practice and improve their performance in the task and functionality benchmarks. The domestic test bed was equipped with the RoCKIn ground truth system provided by Milan Polytechnic (POLIMI) for data gathering and allowed teams to get detailed feedback on their performance.
Fablab
Prove di #Fablab a Città della Scienza al workshop formativo organizzato nell'ambito di #TechnologyBiz e promosso da Città della Scienza in collaborazione con la Sapienza - Università di Roma – Dipartimento di Ingegneria informatica automatica e gestionale “Antonio Ruberti. Il workshop è strutturato in due giornate e prevede la costruzione e la programmazione di un prototipo di robot low-cost con una base mobile, per il quale è stato sviluppato dalla Sapienza un kit open e basso costo, che garantisce uno standard di prestazione elevato. Per ulteriori informazioni, visita la pagina Facebook.
LabRoCoCo takes part to the workshop #TechnologyBiz which is sponsored by Città della Scienza. The workshop will last two days: a low-cost robot will be programed. A low-cost open kit developed by Sapienza will anyway guarantee high standard performances. For further information, please visit the Facebook page.
Flourish H2020 project first sunflowers data set
The LabRoCoCo team went to the sunflowers field expressly prepared by the ASSAM team for the Flourish project (10 hectares).
The purpose of the visit was to capture a first dataset of the field with the plants still small.
We used a temporary setup, composed by a Pioneer3 robot with the
following sensors (see the robot-X.jpg images in the attached archive):
-A VISensor (stereo camera+IMU), looking forward/ground, height ~80 cm
-A Hokuyo UTM-30LX laser, looking forward/ground, height ~80 cm
-An UBLOX GPS
-An USB3 color camera (1920x1200), looking down, height ~80 cm
-Robot odometry
The goal of the Flourish project is to bridge the gap between the current and desired capabilities of agricultural robots by developing an adaptable robotic solution for precision farming.
The Flourish project is funded by the European Community's Horizon 2020 programme under grant agreement no 644227-Flourish.
