¤ About project

RoboCom++ will gather the community and organise the knowledge necessary to rethink the design principles and fabrication technologies of future robots. RoboCom++ will aim at developing the cooperative robots (or Companion Robots) of the year 2030, by fostering a deeply multidisciplinary, transnational and federated effort.

¤ Objectives

The main objective of the RoboCom++ Project is to lay the foundation for a future global interdisciplinary research programme (e.g., a FET-Flagship project) on a new science-based transformative Robotics, to be launched by the end of the H2020 Programme.

The RoboCom++ community will pursue these ambitious objectives by cooperating along three main lines of action.

  • Building an interdisciplinary community of outstanding, highly motivated and committed experts and organisations.
  • Targeted exploratory pilots.
  • Defining the long-term S&T roadmap, competitiveness strategy, governing and financing structure, and the ethical, legal, economic and social framework of a future FET Flagship–like initiative on Robotics.
