From 10 to 12 May, the robotics hackathon «RoboBattle 48» will take place, organised by the Science and Innovation Centre of Riga Technical University (RTU). Students, researchers, representatives of start-ups, as well as other robot enthusiasts are invited to take part in the event, where they will not only have the opportunity to design their own robot, but also take part in a robot tournament, competing in a specially created arena.
From 29 April to 20 June, Riga will host the fourth «Urban Mobility Incubator», which aims to develop and test mobility solutions in Riga. The incubator offers financial support for teams to realise and prototype their business ideas, mentoring sessions and lectures, as well as the opportunity to deploy their solution in urban environments.
In order to provide more opportunities for students to gain practical experience in robotics and automation and to develop skills needed in the labour market, Riga Technical University (RTU) Faculty of Computer Science, Information Technology and Energy (FCSITE) is adding a modern «ABB» collaborative robot or cobot to its equipment, as well as continuing to use the powerful robot simulation and programming tool «RobotStudio®».
