FP7 is a financial tool for promoting research in Europe. The 7-year program aims at meeting increased demands of employment and competitiveness. It is expected to play an important role in promoting private investment in research.
KAIST developed the seventh robot in the HanSaRam series called HanSaRam VII. It has five fingers in each hand, can grasp and release objects, and can express hand gestures.
The bipedal robot HR-7 was developed by Dr. Robot. It is the seventh HR model prototype. The HR-7 has some new features, including five fingers and new recharging technology.
One of the top ten public universities, UCSD, has long been considered as one of the Public Ivies. The school has a stellar robotics lab, the Coordinated Robotic Lab, which works on robotic platforms capable of multi-tasking but relatively cheap to build…
To protect deminers and save time, ICARUS has started to use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for mapping and detecting. One of the major issues facing flood-hit areas is the widespread presence of unexploded devices from the war.
PLANTOID is a robotics project with the aim to design and build a new generation of robotics hardware and software technologies inspired by plants.
ACCOMPANY is a robotics project set to develop the Care-O-bot 3 into a caring and emotionally stimulating social robot for the elderly.
AIRobots is a new Dutch Robotics project aimed at developing robots that can perform as well in the air as they do on land. The robots are designed to be user friendly and the operator ideally receives visual and force feedback from the robot to control…
The ALIZ-E is a Dutch Robotics project aimed at the elderly and children. Developers hope to create a robot that can communicate for longer periods of time with humans. The project will use the Aldebaran Nao robot as an implementation platform. One goal…
Best Practice In Robotics, or BRICS, has a goal of formalizing robotics standards to help promote best robotics practices and speed development. To accomplish this, BRICS will provide the necessary tools, models and libraries. Standardization will make…
DARIUS aims at addressing the different aspects related to the application of the unmanned robot systems in SAR operations. The different objectives of this project will be tested on realistic scenarios.
ECHORD++ (European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development) is a robotics project, which is funded by the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7). Their aim is to advance the field of robotics by facilitating cooperation between academia…
The Robotics project Evryon aims to design wearable robotic suits (exoskeletons) to help the elderly in restoring mobility and strength for those who lack them. These suits will be power efficient and lightweight and will be tested on elderly people to…
The European Robotics project, ICARUS, aims at developing robotic tools that can detect and rescue human beings. These systems will be used to help “human” crisis intervention teams.
TIRAMISU is an important robotics project with the goal of developing tools that can help establish peace, ensure national along with regional security, prevent conflict, and promote social and economic rehabilitation.
