FITNESS and 5 sister projects BABots, BAYFLEX, BlueArray, THOR and UNISON from the ORBIT cluster, collectively represent a new technological frontier combining bioinspired fabrication, intelligent sensing, adaptive robotics, probabilistic computing, flexible electronics, and sustainable photonic communication systems.

 

The ORBIT Cluster brings these projects together to explore synergies between novel materials, sensing technologies, neuromorphic and probabilistic computation, robotics, and autonomous systems interacting seamlessly with both the human body and the natural world.

 

On Monday September 7th (9 :30am – 5 :30pm), a workshop at the 52nd ESSERC Conference represents the first in-person meeting of the ORBIT Cluster : « Bio-inspired Electronics, Intelligent Sensing and Adaptive Robotic Systems ». The workshop will provide a multidisciplinary overview of emerging technologies for next-generation intelligent systems, ranging from underwater optical communications and compact photonic sensing platforms to flexible metasurfaces, probabilistic organic electronics, and biological swarm robotics.

 

The program is structured around four thematic sessions addressing:

-Intelligent photonic sensing and communication systems

-Probabilistic and neuromorphic computing with organic electronics

-Biohybrid robotics and collective intelligence

-Flexible RF systems and metasurfaces for robotic sensing

 

It aims to stimulate cross-disciplinary discussions and foster new collaborations within the ORBIT ecosystem and beyond.
