UAVs in Perspective10 May 2012, Aula Magna, Facoltà d'Ingegneria

Università di Bologna

The day will focus on the theme of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, with a speci�c attention to future scenarios related to the used technologies, possible civil applica-tions and funding opportunities in future European programs.

The event targets stakeholders which are already active in the UAV �eld, as well as potential end users who are not yet into it and might be unaware of the potential o�ered by these technologies.

The day is organized in two sessions. The morning is focused on future funding opportunities in the European scene, academic and industrial research trends and non conventional application scenarios. The afternoon is devoted to demos of �ying prototypes developed in the AIRobots European Project (www.airobots.eu).

For organizational purposes, please con�rm your atten-dance to the event by sending an email to lorenzo.marconi@unibo.it not later than Tuesday 1 May.
