euROBIN: 3rd Open Call for Technology Exchange Programme

Summary

euROBIN is the Network of Excellence that brings together European expertise on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will establish a unified pan-European platform for research and development. Goals include both significant scientific advances on core questions of AI-based robotics as well as strengthening the scientific robotics community in Europe by providing an integrative community platform. The network is open to the entire robotics community and provides mechanisms of cascade funding to double its number of members over the next years.

Detailed Call Description

The scope of the Technology Exchange Programme is promoting the participation of researchers and companies for the design, development, and validation of novel scientific methods and technologies that contribute to the extension of the range of intelligent transferable skills and capabilities of robots in different application domains (industrial, personal, and outdoors), complementing the main goals considered in the euROBIN project. Participants will have the possibility to integrate and test their code, method or hardware in some of the most advanced robotic platforms in Europe to address significant research challenges thanks to the cascade funding mechanism that will support their work.

The proposed activities should address the development and implementation of demonstration activities around technology and systems applicable to exactly one of the Open Challenges publicly announced with this Open Call. Proposals aim to reach Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4-5.
