ECHORD++ (The European Coordination Hub for Open Robotics Development), Europe

Sebastian Weisenburger (Technical University of Munich) interviews Cecile Huet (European Commission) at #ERF2018 in Tampere, Finland.

The robotics research project ECHORD++ (The European Coordination Hub for Open Robotics Development) will promote the interaction between robot manufacturers, researchers and users. It is the follow-up project of ECHORD (European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development, 2009 – 2013), which was installed as an incubator to drive innovation by facilitating the cooperation between academia and industry.

Sebastian Weisenburger tells us all about the ECHORD++ project.

He describes how ECHORD++ works with application oriented research bringing together academia, industry and end users to bring robotics to market, under the banner "From lab to market"

We also hear about Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI). Currently, two projects are run, one in healthcare and one in urban robotics.

Sebastian shares how he adapts the information that comes out of research in a way that makes it suitable for the general public.

We also get and in depth ( ) look at the ECHORD++ project with insight into many of the projects in it.
