CARMA participated in ADRF 2025, the AI, Data and Robotics Forum, held in Stavanger, Norway from September 23 to 24, where consortium partners represented the project and engaged with the international disaster response community.
CARMA was represented by Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova (DRZ) and Nicholas Vretos (CERTH), who actively contributed to discussions on the future of robotics and artificial intelligence in emergency management.
As part of the event, Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova led the workshop “AI-Powered Search & Rescue Robotics: Boosting European Resilience and Innovation”. The session highlighted how CARMA is advancing the integration of robotic platforms, artificial intelligence, and human–robot collaboration to enhance Europe’s disaster response and resilience capabilities. The workshop provided a valuable forum for exchanging perspectives on technological challenges, operational needs, and future innovation pathways.
The CARMA consortium extends its sincere thanks to all workshop contributors and participants for the quality of the discussions, including representatives from DRZ, DFKI, CERTH, Disaster Competence Network Austria, Oö. Landes-Feuerwehrverband, and Futurised B.V. Their insights and expertise significantly enriched the dialogue.
Participation in ADRF 2025 reflects CARMA’s ongoing commitment to engaging with key stakeholders, sharing knowledge, and ensuring that project developments remain closely aligned with real-world operational requirements.
