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.
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. Proposals should be submitted exclusively by the aforementioned applicants who will delegate a group of researchers/PhD students (that are endorsed by the organisation they belong to/work at) to work in laboratory.
The maximum amount of financial support to be granted to each selected third-party project under the 3rdOpen Call of the Technology Exchange Programme is up to €60.000. During the 3rd Open Call up 9 beneficiaries will be selected.
In order to be eligible, the applicant can apply as a single (individual) legal entity (not a consortium) that is:
Proposals should be submitted exclusively by the aforementioned applicants who will delegate a group of researchers/PhD students (that are endorsed by the organisation they belong to/work at) to work in a laboratory.
The euROBIN partners are not eligible to act as applicants and CANNOT be involved in the grantees’ projects, neither their affiliates nor employees or permanent collaborators.
The applicants from the euROBIN 1st and the 2nd Open Call, who have not been selected as beneficiaries, are allowed to apply to the 3rd Open Call for Technology Exchange Programme.
