Upon invitation of HyQ-REAL experiment partner Dr. Claudio Semini, our scientific project manager Dr. Yannick Morel will present ECHORD++ at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa. The talk will be held on Monday, July 31st at 11.00 a.m. in “Sala Montalcini” (Auditorium, 1st Floor). Yannick will outline how ECHORD++ promotes the interaction between robot manufacturers, researchers, and users by its three complementary instruments: focused, short-term research projects (Experiments), technology development in collaboration with public bodies (Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation, PDTI), and a network of open-access competence centers (Robotics Innovation Facilities, RIFs).
