Description

The Serbian Artificial Intelligence Factory Antenna is excited to launch SAIFA Talks, a new webinar series that explores emerging technologies, innovative applications, and the latest advances in artificial intelligence.

The series aims to bring together researchers, industry professionals, technology developers, and AI enthusiasts to exchange knowledge, share practical experience, and explore opportunities for collaboration across the Serbian and European AI ecosystems.

The inaugural webinar will explore how the evolution of 6G networks, artificial intelligence, and edge-cloud computing is transforming robotics by enabling intelligent machines to operate in interconnected computing environments. It will be presented by Prof. Dr. Dejan Vukobratović from the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research and Development of Serbia on 23 Oct 2026 at 15:00 CEST. 

As robotic systems become increasingly intelligent and connected, computational tasks can be distributed among robots, edge infrastructure, and cloud platforms. This approach creates new opportunities for advanced robotic applications while introducing challenges in communication, computation, and real-time decision-making.

The webinar will present research and development activities conducted at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence Research and Development of Serbia, focusing on two practical use cases:

  • Connected Robotic Workcell: A static robotic scenario demonstrating the integration of robotics, connectivity, and distributed computation.
  • Connected Edge Localization and Mapping (SLAM): A mobile robotic scenario exploring how edge computing supports localization and mapping tasks.

Participants will learn how modern approaches to task-oriented semantic data processing can address these challenges and gain insights into proof-of-concept demonstrators developed by the research team.
