The ARISE project recently held a synergy discussion with the TORNADO project to explore shared research interests and potential opportunities for collaboration across robotics, artificial intelligence and human-centred automation. ARISE develops an integrated robotic platform for complex autonomous task performance, with validation activities in solar panel installation and maintenance, as well as hydroponic lettuce transplanting […]

ARISE is pleased to highlight a new scientific publication by project partner CSIC, titled “Ontological foundations for contrastive explanatory narration of robot plans”, published in Information Sciences by Elsevier. The article, authored by Alberto Olivares-Alarcos, Sergi Foix, Júlia Borràs, Gerard Canal and Guillem Alenyà, contributes to one of the central research directions of ARISE: enabling

Ontology-based explicit long-term memory for robots In the context of the ARISE project, CSIC, through its Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics team, is leading the development of the ontology-based framework of the project, and recently they have developed an explicit long-term robot memory. This approach enables robots to store, organize, and reason about past

CSIC Team won the Marc Esteva Vivanco award ARISE project partner CSIC, through its Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics team, has been awarded the prestigious Marc Esteva Vivanco award for the best PhD thesis by the Catalan Association for Artificial Intelligence (ACIA). The award was presented during the 27th International Congress of the Catalan

Cultivating the Future: How AGRO-WELL and ARISE are revolutionising agriculture The agricultural sector, vital for our global food supply, is facing unprecedented challenges—from hazardous working conditions to the urgent need for greater environmental sustainability. To address these critical issues, two pioneering projects, AGRO-WELL and ARISE, are leveraging cutting-edge technology to transform farming into a more

Joining Forces for Future Fields & Farmers: AgRibot × ARISE Collaboration between EU research projects works best when it brings together complementary strengths. That’s why AgRibot has established a new synergy with the ARISE project — an EU-funded initiative focused on advanced AI and robotics for autonomous task performance. Both projects are responding to a

Technical Synergy and Future Directions: Highlights from the 4th ARISE General Assembly The ARISE 4th General Assembly took place on February 5th and 6th, 2026, at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) in Thessaloniki, Greece. Hosted by CERTH and led by project coordinators, the meeting gathered representatives from across the consortium, to evaluate

Under the Hood: The Foundation Driving the ARISE System As the ARISE project advances toward realizing advanced robotic solutions in support of the European Green Deal, it is essential to take a closer look at the structural backbone that makes this progress possible. Building autonomous robots for complex sectors such as Energy (solar panel installation)

From perception to action: How CERTH enables autonomous robotics in ARISE As part of the Horizon Europe ARISE project, CERTH is developing the perception and navigation systems that enable the robot to understand and navigate through complex environments. These systems give the robot the ability to interpret its surroundings, make informed decisions, and operate autonomously

In the context of the ARISE project, CEA List is leading the development of an advanced interactive simulation framework to support the design and testing of robotic systems and actuators.
