On June 2nd, 2023, the president of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, paid a visit to JSI. The director of the institute, along with his colleagues, provided her with an overview of the institute’s organization and activities, as well as current events both within the institute and in the broader scientific community. They talked about developments in the field of robotics, artificial intelligence, physics, biochemistry and environmental sciences. The president also visited the Department of Automatics, Biocybernetics, and Robotics, where we had the opportunity to showcase the ReconCycle project and the ReconCycle workcell in more detail. During the visit, we provided a demonstration of a simplified disassembly use case, illustrating the innovative technologies and processes employed in the project.

qbrobotics grippers at ICRA 2023
ICRA 2023 was held from May 29th – June 2nd in the International Convention Centre (ICC) of ExCeL, London, UK. In the conference exhibition area, qbrobotics showed the grasping and manipulation versatility of qb SoftHand 2 Reserch and the integration of sensing capabilities on the Variable Stiffness Gripper. Both devices were in part developed in ReconCycle project.

ReconCycle at MECSPE 2023
The ReconCycle partner, qbrobotics, has developed an application that allows one qb SoftClaw and one qb SoftHand2 Research to work together in disassembling certain electronic components.
Industrial development of this application will be presented in booth F45, Hall 30 at MECSPE 2023, the international reference fair for the Manufacturing industry, which will be held March 29-31, 2023 at BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy.
European Robotics Forum (ERF 2023) was held in Odense, Denmark from March 14th to 16th 2023.
At the conference, the Trinity project organized a workshop entitled “Feasibility Of Agile Manufacturing, What Really Moves SMEs“. The coordinator of the ReconCycle project Aleš Ude presented the results of ReconCycle at the workshop.
The results of the project Reconcycle, regarding the reconfiguration of recyclicng workcells, will be presented at Trade fair for automation, mechatronics, sensor technology, measurement technologies (IFAM 2023), Ljubljana, Slovenia from March 7th to March 9th 2023.

Plenary of Antonio Bicchi at ICRA 2022
The head of IIT research team in ReconCycle Antonio Bicchi was a plenary speaker at ICRA 2022, which was held in Philadelphia, USA. In his talk prof. Bicchi discussed embodied intelligence as determined and anticipated by the physics of the body which mediates our interaction with the world. He explained how artificial hands and haptics, prostheses and avatars can be conceived and realized to better serve humans in different environments. His presentation included the results from several projects including ReconCycle.

ReconCycle Kickoff Meeting
ReconCycle is one of the four research and innovation actions that were selected for funding in H2020 call “ICT-09-2019-2020”, Robotics in Application Areas. The project’s kickoff meeting was held at Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from February 13th – 14th, 2020. At the meetings the partners were focusing on the establishment of the initial experimental environment and on the main research issues that need to be addressed in the project to implement the recycling cell prototype.
