Martin Saska, ROBOPROX RA8 Lead and Head of the Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) Group at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, presented recent results of the ROBOPROX project in an invited keynote talk at the workshop 25 Years of Aerial Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities, held as part of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) – the flagship global robotics conference.
At the same event, Martin Saska was also honored, on behalf of his co-authors, with the Best Article Award from IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine (IEEE RAS) for the 2024 paper “New Era in Cultural Heritage Preservation: Cooperative Aerial Autonomy for Fast Digitalization of Difficult-to-Access Interiors of Historical Monuments.” The awarded research, which also contributes to the ROBOPROX project, was recognized during the ICRA 2025 Awards Ceremony in Atlanta, USA, attended by over 7,000 leading robotics researchers. The award includes a $1,000 prize and highlights outstanding impact in the field.
In addition to this notable recognition, the drone team from Saska’s lab (primarily from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, CTU in Prague) presented seven conference papers and two workshop papers at ICRA 2025, many of them featuring results from ROBOPROX. Among these, the paper “Robust Planning and Control of Omnidirectional MRAVs for Aerial Communications in Wireless Networks” was nominated for the Best Paper Award in the workshop Beyond the Lab: Robust Planning and Control in Real-World Scenarios.
Congratulations to the entire team for their outstanding visibility and recognition on the global robotics stage.
