Some examples of robotics-related projects
There are a number of projects funded by FET under the 5th Framework Programme which elaborate various aspects of advanced robotics or robotic subsystems. Most of them were selected under the Neuro-IT initiatives "Neuroinformatics for living artefacts" and "Life-like Perception Systems".
In addition, a thematic network EURON promotes research collaboration, elaborate a research ‘roadmap’, foster training, organise workshops, and to develop industrial and international links.
