The University of Luxembourg, two of its interdisciplinary centres (SnT and LCSB) as well as the Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication (FSTC) and the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education participate in the Science Festival organised from 7 to 10 November 2019 in Luxembourg-Grund with several workshops. Visit us!
Drones, lëtz interact
The SnT-UL’s multirotor aerial robots (drones) perform autonomous navigation and natural human-robot interaction tasks without human control. This interaction is performed directly with the drone within the flight area or through a remote computer.

The fascinating world of fractals
Fractals are fascinating self-similar structures that can be found in broccoli and ferns, for example. In mathematics, beautiful patterns of unimaginable complexity emerge from simple equations. Build your own fractal and explore the famous Mandelbrot on computer.
