Anibal Ollero in the presentation of the Andalucía I+D+I

Yesterday, 15th of December 2020, the Professor Anibal Ollero was in the presentation of the Magazine “Andalucía I+D+I” in La Casa de ABC de Sevilla.

The Magazine includes the article “Drones that are inspired by the mythological griffin” with an interview to Anibal Ollero. In this interview the head of GRVC laboratory at the University of Seville and 2019 Rei Jaume I award in New Technologies, talks about the GRIFFIN Advanced Grant of the European Research Council and the new bioinspired aerial robots.

The GRVC lab is currently working in 12 projects of the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission, 4 Spanish Research Projects and 12 contracts with companies.

Moreover, the GRIFFIN Principal Investigator, Prof. Anibal Ollero, will deliver the first keynote with the title “New aerial robotic manipulators for efficient and safe operation”, September 2 at 8.45 am Athens time (7.45 Central European time). In this on-line keynote Prof. Ollero will present recent GRIFFIN  results.

GRIFFIN IS USING THE RESULTS OF AEROARMS TO DEVELOP BIOINSPIRED AERIAL ROBOTIC MANIPULATORS

The latest updated “Results in Brief” of CORDIS (The European Commission’s primary service for EU-funded research result, in six languages) published an article with the title “AI-powered drones for difficult maintenance tasks” in which GRIFFIN was mentioned.

Professor Ollero explains: “Meanwhile, my European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant GRIFFIN is using the results of AEROARMS to develop a new generation of bioinspired aerial robotic manipulators”
