In 2015, the international engineering community celebrates the 85^th birthday of Antal Bejczy, the Hungarian-born physicist, lead researcher of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, professor of the California Institute of Technology and the Washington University in St. Louis, honorary doctor of the Óbuda University, outstanding professional of the international space and robotics research community.

The annual meeting of the board members and representative officers of the euRobotics aisbl nonprofit organization was held at the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics at Óbuda University between 8–10. September. The aim of this meeting was to lay the fundaments of the research, development, education and industrial perspectives of the European robotics community.

In the past few weeks, the Antal Bejczy Center for Intelligent Robotics of Óbuda University played in important role in promoting robotics and their importance in education. For two weeks at the Skool tech camp, the research center of our University, together with the Google Ground Education Center, worked with young girls of age 11­–13 who were willing to prove their skills in ‘manly’ professions such as robotics and programming.

Right before the IEEE INES conference in Tihany, robotic professionals gathered from all over the region to create the first topical organization: the Central European Living Lab for Intelligent Robotics (CELLI). The original idea for CELLI came from Prof. Sincak (University of Technology, Kosice), and then it was Prof. Rudas (Óbuda University) who called to arms all robotisists from Academia and Industry to form the Living Lab.
