On Friday 22.11.2024 our NANOROBOTS research group visited the Mining Museum in Landek Park in Ostrava-Petřkovice. We had the unique opportunity to descend into the mines and explore the fascinating world of underground mining and salvage. The scientists were thus able to recharge their batteries for their future experiments. It was great to come together for this activity. We look forward to the next NANOROBOTS meeting.....

We would like to thank everyone for the opportunity for our Nanorobotics team, led by Professor Martin Pumera, to participate in such an amazing public event as the Art & Science Festival in September 2024. In the morning, our scientists provided elementary and high school students with a guided tour of microrobots, nanoscale technology, and demonstrations of advanced materials for energy storage. The students, many of whom might become future scientists in this field, asked our experts numerous insightful questions. In the afternoon, our exhibit was open to the general public, where families with small children were the most common visitors. The festival's attendance, as well as the turnout at our booth, was incredible.
Thank you, and we look forward to next year!

VSB-TUO can boast of the newly acquired financial support of the AZV grant of 15 million CZK. Together with other partners, they will face the challenge of nanorobot applications in biomedicine.
The principal investigator of the project is Doc. RNDr. Martin Pumera, Ph.D., who is the reserach group leader of Advanced Nanorobots and Multiscale Robotics Lab research group under the auspices of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Together with Masaryk University and the Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine, they will take biomedical research one step further over the next 4 years.
At the same time, Professor Martin Pumera has received additional financial support as co-designer in the amount of 6 million CZK. He is also a member of the team for another AZV call in the field of experimental therapeutics. Professor Pumera's research group is looking forward to the new challenges and is fully committed to the experiments.

At the beginning of February, the Ministry of Transport held a very important workshop, which Professor Martin Pumera was part of. The personal meeting with Julia Weis from ESA, who is the team leader of the ISS utilization and integration planning team, was very much appreciated.
The Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic initiated a formal Request for Information (RFI) to map the interest of the Czech academic, industrial and other public in Czech activities that could be implemented on the International Space Station (ISS) and similar platforms.
The information gathered will be used as a basis for further assessment at the government level and, if relevant, to evaluate the benefits of activities carried out before, during and after a possible Czech astronaut flight
