Registration for the ninth edition of the Energy Olympiad is now open. Since the competition was launched in 2018, nearly 9,000 secondary school students have taken part, and this year the total number is expected to surpass 10,000. The organisers expect approximately 1,300 students from across the Czech Republic to participate. The online school round will take place on 16 October 2026, with the top 25 teams advancing to the final, which will be held on 12–13 November at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE).

The Czech F4F & CTU SkyGraph team achieved significant success in the final of the Fully Autonomous Flight 2.0 competition organised by Germany’s Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation SPRIND. Competing against seven European technology teams, it demonstrated a system capable of receiving instructions formulated in ordinary human language, independently converting them into a flight plan, and carrying them out without GPS or manual control. The competition tasks simulated real-world applications such as delivery services, rescue operations, and security control centres. In the “find and assist an injured person” task, the F4F & CTU SkyGraph team defeated Europe’s drone elite. The fourteen-month competition had a budget exceeding EUR 5 million, with each finalist team receiving EUR 500,000 in funding to develop its system.

How does a young child learn that moving its hand can change the world around it? And what happens in the brain during this process? An international team of researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Universität Hamburg and Université Paris Cité explored these questions using the humanoid robot iCub. The results of their experiments, which offer a new perspective on the mechanisms of early learning, have now been published in Science Robotics, the world’s leading scientific journal in the field of robotics.

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU FEE) has secured two international research projects under QuantERA, a prestigious European initiative supporting the development of quantum technologies. The ICON and EXCEL-QKD projects will focus on next-generation quantum communication systems and secure networks designed for the advent of quantum computers. CTU FEE has thus secured half of all Czech projects funded in the field of applied quantum research under this year’s call.

This year, the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) awarded its most prestigious honour, the King-Sun Fu Prize, to Professor Jiří Matas, a researcher from Department of Cybernetics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU). The prize was presented at the 28th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), one of the leading conferences in the field of pattern recognition, held in Lyon, France, from 17 to 22 August 2026.

CTU students and researchers can apply by 8 September 2026 for the Ready! programme, which helps turn ideas into real-world start-ups and spin-offs. A panel will select 16 participants for the new cohort, which will run from October 2026 to January 2027. Applications are open to students at all levels, from bachelor’s to doctoral study, as well as researchers with an entrepreneurial idea at any stage of development.

A team from the Centre for Knowledge Management at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (FEE CTU) is participating in the DEUSS (Decentralised EU Securities Service) project, which aims to create a unified digital platform for issuing and trading digitalised bonds across the European Union. The project, funded by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade under the National Recovery Plan, is now in the final stage of development.

The challenge was to design and build an aircraft with the best possible aerodynamic performance, capable of covering the greatest possible distance within 120 seconds while carrying the maximum payload. This was the task set for this year’s Air Cargo Challenge, held in Stuttgart, Germany, where 37 student teams from around the world competed against one another. CTU AeroLab, based at the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and comprising students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Transportation Sciences at CTU, secured an impressive fourth place – the best result ever achieved by a Czech team in the history of this international competition.

Staying hydrated is important! And now at FEE you can find three new places to refresh yourself—with water just the way you like it. Two dispensers are located at the Karlovo náměstí campus, and the third one is in Dejvice. No app is required to use the dispensers.

Diana Kunová, a student in the Cybernetics and Robotics programme at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FEE), Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), took part in the RoboCup 2026 World Championship, held this year in Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. Competing as a member of the XLC – WYLDFYRE team, she represented Slovakia in the RoboCupJunior Soccer 2:2 Infrared category, finishing 11th among 24 national teams. In the special SuperTeam competition, her international team advanced to the semifinals and ultimately secured fourth place.

Dr. Jiří Horyna, a PhD graduate of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU and a researcher with the Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) group, has received the Joseph Fourier Prize for Computer Sciences 2026, awarded by the Embassy of France in the Czech Republic for outstanding research in computer science. He received the award for his research on decentralized state estimation and control of autonomous unmanned vehicle swarms.
