Ajankohtaista

Urban Mobile Robotics: From idea to experiment – how new solutions are tested before investments

Ilmoittaudu mukaan 16.4.2026 järjestettävään Urban Mobile Robotics -hankkeen ja Metropolian Robo Garagen tilaisuuteen, jossa esitellään miten uusia ratkaisuja voidaan testata käytännössä ennen laajempia investointeja tai rahoitushakuja. Esimerkkeinä kuullaan kaksi inspiroivaa ja käytännönläheisiä yrityscasea ideasta onnistuneeseen rahoitukseen.

Ilmoittaudu tapahtumaan viimeistään 9.4.!

Measures

The project will include pilot projects, workshops, technology surveys, and development experiments using digital tools, artificial intelligence, data analytics, professional networking, and collaborative working methods.

The pilot projects will be conducted in an authentic urban environment, which will provide the participants with tangible results, new skills, and a possibility to develop marketable robotics solutions to actual urban and environmental challenges.

Metropolia's Robo Garage workshop will assist the companies with their pilot projects.

Communication

Our communications will emphasize activeness, expertise, and effectiveness.

  • Website: This website is the project's principal communication channel. The website will include news, results from our pilot projects, and information about upcoming events.
  • Social media: You can follow us on LinkedIn for news and updates.

More information about the project can also be found on the co-organizers' websites, but the most comprehensive content is on the project's own website.
