Artificial intelligence is driving a new generation of smarter and more autonomous robots that \u201cwill be able to learn and understand changing environments, in order to have a positive impact on people and businesses,\u201d explained today Daniel Serrano, Director of Eurecat\u2019s Robotics Unit, during the second day of ROSCon Spain.<\/p>\n

In just a few years, \u201cwe will see much more skilful robots, thanks to the combination of artificial intelligence and perception, enabling them to learn new tasks with only a few demonstrations,\u201d predicted Daniel Serrano. In his view, in the future \u201crobots will be far more present in everyday life, collaborating with people and becoming a natural part of daily routines.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the social sphere, Eurecat<\/a> is already developing various technologies, such as assistive robots that can help older people or individuals with reduced mobility with daily tasks. In the industrial and agri-food sectors, the technology centre has also successfully tested robots equipped with force-controlled grippers and tactile sensors to handle delicate food products, as well as the design of systems for dismantling batteries and electronic waste that require adaptation to different components.<\/p>\n

ROSCon Spain: developing robots for increasingly complex environments<\/strong><\/p>\n

ROSCon Spain 2025, organized by Eurecat with the support of Open Robotics and around ten sponsors from the sector, brought together for the first time in Barcelona developers, researchers and leading companies from the ROS ecosystem (Robot Operating System), showcasing the development of increasingly autonomous and intelligent robots with applications in sectors such as agriculture, industry and domestic environments.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s edition focused on how artificial intelligence and cognitive systems are transforming robotics, enabling the creation of new solutions ranging from robots that learn to interact with people to autonomous fleets that collaborate in complex environments.<\/p>\n

Over the two days of the conference, examples were presented of increasingly autonomous robots capable of navigating, manipulating and making decisions in real time, integrating 3D vision modules, semantic reasoning and reinforcement learning. Technical sessions addressed key topics such as learning-based navigation, multimodal perception for industrial and agricultural environments, and human\u2013robot interaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are entering a new stage in which artificial intelligence and cognition are no longer add-ons, but the core of robotic behaviour. Robots no longer simply execute commands; they learn, interpret and make decisions,\u201d commented Carlos Rizzo, Head of Mobile Robotics at Eurecat, adding that \u201cin this sense, ROSCon Spain has established itself as a benchmark for intelligent and autonomous robotics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerating knowledge and sharing it creates impact, that is what ROSCon is about. The ROS community serves to share, accelerate innovation and democratize robotics,\u201d highlighted Daniel Serrano, adding that it opens a space where \u201cwe see how the technology we develop in joint and international projects later finds real applications in companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event featured an exhibition area with around ten stands where the main sponsors, among them PAL Robotics, ROBOTNIK and Camp Tecnol\u00f3gico, as well as Eurecat, presented demonstrators of different types of mobile robots, drones, manipulators, quadrupeds and humanoids.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":189993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[430,2293,743],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-autonomous-professional-robotics","category-events","category-press-notes-en"],"yoast_head":"\nArtificial intelligence drives a new generation of robots capable of learning and understanding their environment -
