The notion of self-driving cars is no longer the pipe dream it once was. After years of innovation, EU-backed projects are making real gains in advancing tomorrow's automated driving, with the aim to make travel on European roads safer and more efficient.
From self-driving cars to driver-less tractors, robotic field workers could help solve one of the biggest challenges of modern-day farming: labour. As fewer agricultural hands become available, robots can help with tedious repetitive tasks – such as seeding, spraying and weeding – and even carry them out faster than humans.
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive, hard-to-treat variant that accounts for 15% of all breast cancer cases. EU-backed researchers are looking for new ways to attack the tumours and stop the cancer spreading. |
