  1. Deutsches Museum München September 4, 2009 Welcome totheECHORD Opening Event

  2. 2 Who is ECHORD?

  3. University of Coimbra (UC) → 20.000 students → More than 700 years of history Industrial RoboticsLaboratory →High record in tech transfer from academia to industry • High-level robot programming • Robot Work-cell Integration • Human machine interfaces • Force Control

  4. 4 Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (UNINA) One of the largest and the second oldest university in Italy • 3,100 professors, 87 departments, dozens of research laboratories • 100,000+ students in 166 degree corses • Participating as PRISMA Joint Research Unit including UNINA, UNIBAS,UNICAS, UNISA, SUN, UNIROMATRE which works on modeling and control for systems, processes, and networks.

  5. 5 TUM • ZIEL • (Center of • Nutrition and • Food Research) • 2003 Research neu- tron source (FRM II) 1997 Weihenstephan Center of Life Science 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for E. O.

  9. 9 Who is ECHORD? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

  10. 10 What is ECHORD ? • Project fundedbythe European Commissionwithin FP7 • A chance for European Robotics in times of economic crisis to find new markets and application fields • An opportunitytoparticipate in research on emergingtechnology

  11. 11 ECHORD’s motivation Shape European robotics future profile … • European robotics industry is strong, but still fragmented and dispersed • Competition between Japan and Europe will increase • Cutting-edge technology will determine success • Superb research and technological knowledge available in Europe • Industry • Scientific world … by focussing on two-way synergy between academia and industry

  12. 12 Project outline • Duration: 2009-01-01 to 2012-06-30 (42 months) • Total budget: approx. 24 M Euro, 19 Meuro funding • Initial partners: TUM (coordinator), Univ. Naples, Univ. Coimbra • New funding concept: • Actual research done by ~50 small-scale “experiments” 12-18 months • Open calls for experiment proposals in 3 rounds • Management and evaluation of experiment proposals by partners, not EC • Extraction and consolidation of results by means of a “structured dialogue”

  13. 13 Experiments: Overview • Target-oriented research and technology transfer • Defined scenario and research focus • Experiments proposed by industry, academia, or both • Short proposals • Quick evaluation and negotiation • Equipment can be bought from a list with special prices

  14. 14 Experiments: Equipment offers • Offers from 25 companies throughout Europe • Wide range of equipment types

  15. 15 Structured dialogue - Overview • Structured dialogue involves robotic industry and research institutes on equal footing • Iterative process of successive information gathering and consensus finding between the stakeholders using all available sources of information • Building upon various roadmaps and strategy papers • Result: annual white-paper, called ECHORD digest

  16. 16 Summary: ECHORD’s Expected Impact • Encourage cooperation between industry and academia • Creating a firm basis for emerging technologies • New application fields, such as service robotics
