Robots that can actually use their hands - safely, precisely, and in the messy, unpredictable spaces where humans work. That's the challenge Pázmány ITK just landed serious funding to solve. The Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics (ITK) at Pázmány Péter Catholic University has been awarded HUF 1.5 billion (roughly €4 million) to launch a new Mission-Driven National Laboratory dedicated to humanoid robotics; covering everything from sensors and AI-based control to scalable manufacturing, for both industrial and rehabilitation applications. The goal by 2030 is an internationally visible Hungarian knowledge base and technology platform for humanoid robots, built right here on campus.

The EAIE Annual Conference, one of the largest European gatherings in the field of international higher education, brought professionals from around the world to Glasgow this year – including the international relations officer of the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics at Pázmány Péter Catholic University.

Hungarian "pilot" Attila Sándor took third place at the international FES cycling competition of Cybersportday, held alongside the 2026 Annual Conference of the International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS) in Lecco, Italy, from September 2 to 4. Eight pilots entered the FES cycling race; among them, the Hungarian rider, HunFess, won the bronze medal.

The latest meeting of the Visegrad+ project was held in Poland, in the West Pomerania region, between September 1 and 5. Franciska Erdő represented our Faculty at the event. The meeting extended well beyond the five consortium institutions directly involved in the project, as participants arrived from nearly all universities across Poland.

On September 7, 2026, Pázmány ITK came alive for a double celebration: the diploma ceremony of the 2026 cohort of the Image Processing and Computer Vision Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's programme (IPCVai), and the official welcome of our newest international Masters students.

A study co-authored by Franciska Erdő, researcher at our Faculty, has been published in the journal Polymers. The publication investigates the fabrication and optimization of PVA-based nanofibrous materials, which may serve as promising foundations for the development of advanced wound dressings of the future.
