- 2013-06-12 Internal SAS-097 workshop was held in 12-13.6. 2013 in Paris in the facilities provided by NATO CSO. The workshop aimed beyond the scope of SAS-097 members by bringing together the science/technology specialists with operational specialists in order to assess the implications of robotics. Participants from the following NATO COEs were present: JAPCC, EOD, C-IED, M&S, and C2. More information are here.
- 2012-10-15 Prof. Vaclav Hlavac presented the SAS-097 mission and future plans at the STO Panel Business Meeting in Monterey, USA. The status of SAS-097 is green.
- 2012-04-25 to 2012-04-27 the SAS-RTG-097 Kick-off Workshop was successfully organized and four Virtual Strands were formed.
- 2012-04-19 Prof. Vaclav Hlavac and Dr. Michal Reinstein presented the SAS-RTG-097 mission and future plans at the RTO Panel Business Meeting in Oslo. The status of SAS-097 is green.
- 2011-12-19 Meeting at VTUL & PVO, LOM Prague, planning of joint CTU & UO Brno workshop to be held in Fall 2012. Decision made: Workshop will be opened for NATO operational community to provide feedback regarding our requirements for future activities in NATO operations (RTA support expected).
- 2011-12-15 The
exploratory team
ET.BX was promoted to a Task Group SAS-RTG-097 by RTB. Starting in January 2012
we operate as a new RTO activity, concentrating at:
- Involving new members in a top-down manner starting at the level of government institutions in individual member and partner states.
- Involving new members in a bottom-up manner by creating Virtual Strands and seeking volunteers to lead them.
- 2011-10-21 The meeting of Prof. Vaclav Hlavac with Dr. Khalil Rouhana (European Commission, Director, Directorate E: Digital Content & Cognitive Systems) in Frankfurt a.M. about the possible cooperation between ET.BX and networking activities in robotics supported by the EC. Even EC does not allow to support military research activities, Dr. Rouhana expressed interest in dual use of military technologies and encourages the participation of the EC funded research project partners in ET.BX activities. He sees the potential in important stimuli for the civilian use of involved robotics technologies, e.g. in the disaster management.
- 2011-10-19 TAP was discussed at the at the panel business meeting of NATO RTO, panel System Analysis and Studies in Copenhagen on Oct 19, 2011. The proposal to leverage the exploratory team to a task group was submitted.
- 2011-09-13 The version of TAP as discussed on the Czech local in Prague meeting.
- 2011-09-13 The local Czech workshop in Prague with military users of robotics technology and its academic providers in Prague.
- 2011-04-14 V. Hlavac and M. Svejda participated at a NATO RTO Panel Business Meeting of the Research and Technology Board, System Analysis and Study (SAS) panel in Stockholm Stockholm. The panel was informed about establishing the exploratory team ET.BX Robots Underpinning NATO Operations. The conclusion was that the exploratory team prepares Term of Reference document for the 2011 fall panel business meeting.
- 2011-03-17to18 Workshop Robots underpinning future NATO operations in Prague.
- 2010-10-28to29: Initiative approved
The Research and Technology Board, System Analysis and Studies Panel met in Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia and approved the initiative. - Summer 2010-Summer:
The initial idea
The idea comes from Mr. Miroslav Svejda from the Czech Ministry of Defense. The initiative was accepted by two robotics teams of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
