An interactive exhibition on robotics was prepared by the Technical Museum in Brno for the 100th anniversary of the first edition of Karel Čapek's drama R. U. R., in which the author first made use of the new word "robot". The exhibition presents the importance of robotics in industry, science and technology, but also in culture and art. Among the hundred exhibits, visitors will also find robots from FIT.

The technology that is being developed at the FIT within the BLENDED project helps the European Space Agency (ESA) process images of Earth. The project connects scientists across Europe in an effort to create a revolutionary platform for distributed and, most importantly, secure data processing using artificial intelligence that processes and analyses space data.

Two Czech laboratories working in automatic speech and language processing have achieved significant international success. The results of the European program supporting the creation of artificial intelligence centers were announced in March, and the institutions involved in the HumanE-AI-Net project also include the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague and the Faculty of Information Technology, BUT.

The ANT@FIT research team from BUT has created one of the world's first acceleration cards with a bandwidth of 100 Gb/s.In contrast to other devices available, the new card is much more powerful, allowing deployment in high-speed networks. Working on acceleration of time-critical operations used in network infrastructure equipment and in network monitoring and security, the research group also participated in several other commercially successful projects.

The device developed at the Faculty of Information Technology of BUT could, in the future, help land surveyors all over the world create 3D models. The backpack with a laser scanner and sensors scans the walk-through area and the software subsequently creates a model. The experts from BUT are now planning to work on a solution for cars.
