So much has been achieved in robotic research over the past decades that today’s robots have found applications in industry, service and medicine. And their role is growing. Twenty years after the first car navigation systems, the technology is expanding rapidly. The intersection of robotics and neuroscience is brain-inspired technologies, which are poised to further facilitate the development of intelligent navigation and autonomous mobility solutions. The EU-funded iNavigate project is bringing together scientists and engineers in academic, private and NGO enterprises. It aims to promote international and intersectorial cooperation for the next-generation, brain-inspired technologies to facilitate the development of intelligent and autonomous mobility solutions. Networking will be supported as well as knowledge utilisation, and dissemination through summer schools, workshops and conferences.
